Dancin' Feet

     Some people think dance is not a sport.  Dance takes as much discipline, focus, drive, dedication and teamwork as any sport.  Dance isn't just about moving your arms and legs.  Dance is about telling a story; every emotion you feel and that you want the audience to feel flowing through every fiber of your body.  

     On days like today, when life decides to kick me swiftly in the butt, I head straight for the studio.  I hide out there for hours on end, practicing and drilling myself as hard as possible.  At the end of a practice, when I am drenched in sweat and my muscles are screaming, I feel at peace; I feel satisfied.  That satisfied feeling makes even the worst day a little better.

“Great dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion.”
