Alive and loving it!

After my short absence and writing very little in my previous few posts....I'm back. For a while...before things start to go into crazy mode.

Firstly, wanna wish awi a quick recovery. He dislocated his big toe while attempting to do fouettes during tonight's class. I am really amazed at how he can be so calm and quiet about it and still smile and say "I'm ok." One moment he was in the studio, the next leo was coming in telling us awi needs to go hospital for a dislocated toe. In between that, no one noticed him going out...

Get well soon!

So, I finally attended Urban mix tech classes after disappearing for 3 weeks. Was pleasantly surprised to find that instead of feeling all weak and rusty, my strength and flexibility improved ever that slightly. So it was not a very good turning day but overall I felt alright. Not wobbly and out of breath due to lack of practise and conditioning. Seldom do I feel so good after warm ups and an hour of extreme jazz combinations and choreography. Yes I was dead tired and my back acted up after 4 hours but I did not feel like shit.

And it struck me suddenly as I sat in front of my pc after a hot shower that I really love dancing. No matter how stressed or shitty i feel after a bad or ridiculous session, just a small step of improvement lifts me up by that much and I see that all is actually not lost. I try my best each day and I am grateful that I can turn and I can jump and I can move to music and in the end, I always find comfort in dance.

I may complain of the little issues that come along with the work I do but at the end of the day, I am still just a girl who really really loves what she is doing and also very thankful that she has been allowed the opportunities to pursue it. How many people can say that?

Thank you mommy and daddy...

And like a friend said, " always appreciate every moment you stand on the stage"

I feel alive when I go on stage. What more is there to ask for?
