Happy New Year! I am Kamaria George, a student at Daza Dance
Ballroom Academy. In August of this year I will be one of the students
travelling to compete with Antonio in Buenos Aires. My Journey at Daza Dance
began on Monday, April 13th 2015 when I took my first Salsa class.
Little did I know how I would cultivate a love for Ballroom Dance, and how
Dance would help me begin a transition from fear to faith. For my first stretch
goal I did a Waltz in the Fall Showcase which was a truly incredible experience
that went beyond my imagination. As my waltz was being fine-tuned in my final
month I started to develop a desire to do competitions, but it seemed like such
a faraway dream that I kept it to myself. To my surprise one day in rehearsal
Antonio asked me if I had thought about competing. He told me he believed in me
and thought I could do it -not only that he thought I should go to Argentina! My
heart stopped!!! I knew in that moment not only that this was what I supposed
to do, but I was already visualizing myself In Argentina and could feel myself
dancing on the competition floor.
I had the desire
and the talent -all I needed now were the finances. On my Birthday September
30, I started the fundraising campaign #ArgentinaDream on Facebook, Instagram,
and twitter with a goal of raising $10,000. To date I have raised over $1400
and am fully committed to making this miracle happen. I will be a guest blogger
on this page for the next 8 months recording my daily progress in dance and in
fundraising. I am looking forward to the process and hope to encourage others
along the way. For my daily inspirational phrase you can follow me on twitter
at @GeorgeKamaria or on Instagram at kamaria.s.george.atl.
I would like to thank Antonio for
letting me use his page and for helping me not only to be the best dancer I can
be, but to strive for the best in every area of my life. 2016 has begun! I wish
everyone a healthy and prosperous New Year. May we all achieve our dreams
together!
