How I got started
A journey through dance.
At 16 years old, I found dancing. After going through a traumatic time, in my early teens, I began to give a shit about life. Doing well at school became a priority and trying at life became a sincere desire.
One weekend I was introduced to a rave party, where they played electronic music all night long. Never having gone to one, I didn’t know what to expect. But, what I found was life changing. My jaw dropped as I watched dancers move their body’s in such inspirational, creative, exotic ways, that I had never seen before.
I started to move, explore and express myself to music through dancing. My new “drug of choice,” I’d dance all night long, completely sober, “high” off of the music and the vibes.
Unleashing myself like this was incredibly healing. As a child I was taught to dim my light, quiet down and not be myself. Dancing out my anger, extra energy and expressing myself fully, no matter what, became a self-help and healing tool I still utilize to this day.
As my exploration through dance evolved, I was drawn to reggae skankin’, hip-hop, breakdancing, West African dance, classical dance, Latin partner dancing, free form movement meditation, the ecstatic dance of Gabriel Roth and The 5 Rhythms, Kizomba, Zouk Lambada and more. Always a free-stylist at heart, learning and creating choreography became a passion as well.
Dance is fun and I love it!
Dance continues to serve as a central tool on my healing and self-reclamation journey. I’ve learned more about myself and healed more as a human being, in my relationship with myself, life and others, through dance, than through most any other modality. It’s a powerful tool for self-realization, healing and inner growth. And, it’s tons of fun! That’s why I still love dancing to this day: learning, healing and growing through it.
Shout outs
Dance is a metaphor for life. Everything we learn on the dance floor, to be great dancers, can be applied to our lives so that we can live healthier and happier lives, and have great relationships!
