2020 has been a very difficult year for the world and for me. I had a spine and foot injury. Performances and in-person dance classes, which had been a huge part of my life, were prohibited because of Covid-19. The dance community began fighting over "cultural appropriation" and other issues. I decided to take a break from dance, and I would return to it if the time was right. I hardly danced that year.
My family decided to move to a more rural area. I needed an outlet for my creativity, so I started teaching myself to play the ukulele and paint. It just wasn't the same. Like many people, the lockdowns affected me adversely. My health declined.
My body began to have more aches and pains. Although it hurt, my body needed to move and stretch. Regardless of what anyone else was doing, I needed to dance for me. The dance I learned was mine and no one could take it away from me. I started doing yoga, walking, and dancing more regularly. I began to feel better.
Now I want to share this healing dance with others again. I know I'm not the only one who needs it! I'm going to start teaching again. See my instruction page for more information. I'd love to see you in class!
