Since I could walk I’ve been dancing. It has shaped the person I am today, both encouraging and discouraging me in my daily practice of it. Nothing compares to the joy of being on stage, knowing that your inspiring someone, or giving someone exactly what they needed to experience at that particular time. As a dancer I can speak without needing words, and since words come hard to me this is very helpful. It has made me a more confident person, showing me that I am capable of much more then I ever thought I would be. I dance because when I don’t my body hurts, and my brain gets fuzzy and I end up dancing anyway, no matter where life takes me I will always be a dancer.
