dancing was one of my first passions since early childhood. michelle and carolyn were friends i started dancing with from 3rd to 12th grade. all the talent shows from elementary to high school at school, local churches, and pep rallies. we found so much joy in the late night practices and adrenaline rushes from the stage. we just had so much fun doing it.

my dad wouldn’t let me take dance classes since he was scared i’d wanna pursue it as a career so i became a school cheerleader to find any excuse to dance. then i went off to college and joined two dance teams so i could have dance practice almost every night. then once i graduated, i never danced again because i got too consumed with work and grad school. i felt too overwhelmed by life to enjoy hobbies. i forgot what it felt like to make time for me.

it’s been 8 YEARS since i danced. i’ve been telling myself for years that i wanna start dancing again and i just couldn’t find the energy or courage to start. but after this past year of intensely grieving my dad and older versions of myself, something within me clicked recently to make small changes.

so i just started taking dance classes with michelle a couple weeks ago. and damn, I’M SO RUSTY AND I’M HAVING SO MUCH FUN. yay to reconnecting with old hobbies and slowly getting my shit together. 💃🏻
