Many do not know that I grew up most of my life thinking I would become a professional ballerina. My very first class was when I was 3 years old. I continued to study ballet for 14 years and while I preferred all the other forms of dance, ballet was my focus. That is, until my hips collapsed when I was 17 and I had to retire my pointe shoes. While I was devastated externally, inside my being I was relieved. I never liked pointe. It hurt my feet so much, I didn’t have the strength or the grace that all the other students had and it made me feel completely insecure. Ballet without forcing my toes to hold my entire body weight was not an option, ballerinas danced on pointe shoes. Once I was freed of ballet, I began to explore all other types of dance that did not put stress on my hips or require a turnout. And that is when I discovered Latin Ballroom. It wasn’t until I began dancing with a partner that I finally felt at home with my body and how it responded to music. My feet instinctually followed the patterns my lead provided. My arms felt purpose to be placed upon my counterpart’s. The rhythm was familiar, natural, as if I had spent lifetimes dancing salsa in Cuba and the Dominican. ⠀
⠀
To this day, dance is my favorite form of artistic expression. The moment I hear music, my whole self responds. Not just my physical body but my mind begins choreographing, my energy shifts, my stress dissolves. ⠀
⠀
I have been without a dance instructor for the last 6 years and I have seen how it’s affected me. I feel a little lost, disconnected from myself. So I decided to seek out instruction again. And joined an all-adult studio. Contemporary, lyrical, broadway, hip hop, tap, jazz, ballroom. ⠀
⠀
I’m doing it all. Except ballet. And it feels glorious.

It would be good to give much thought, before
you try to find words for something so lost,
for those long childhood afternoons, you knew
that vanished so completely -and why?
We're still reminded-: sometimes by a rain,
but we can no longer say what it means;
life was never again so filled with meeting,
with reunion and with passing on
as back then, when nothing happened to us
except what happens to things and creatures:
we lived their world as something human,
and became filled to the brim with figures.
And became as lonely as a shepherd
and as overburdened by vast distances,
and summoned and stirred as from far away,
and slowly, like a long new thread,
introduced into that picture-sequence
where now having to go on bewilders us.
-Rainer Maria Rilke
One of the most beautiful parts of my career is providing a safe place for families to be vulnerable, free of critique and criticism. I revel in being "let in" on the secrets of their every day, which looks very similar to other families and their every day. I have come to realize that we all just want to be seen and heard. We want to share our failures, our insecurities, our challenges. We desperately want to connect to feel less alone. The problem is we fear judgement. We fear not measuring up. We fear our own imperfections reflecting negatively on our personhood. ⠀
⠀
I just want you to imagine, for a moment, a world without an edit button. Models that aren't photoshopped in magazines, that come in all shapes, sizes, ethnicities, races, religions, abilities and bodies. An empathetic world where shaming and bullying did not exist and communities came together to raise the village together. A world where women were each other's champions and true support systems. A place where parents felt secure sharing all their frustrations, missteps and losses and not be chastised or looked down upon publicly or privately. ⠀
⠀
Imagine a world where we were free to be, you and me.
