POSSIBILITIES

I was encouraged as I received a donation to my GoFundMe account that I wasn’t expecting. It feels great to receive well wishes, I have received support not only from family and friends but from people I don’t even know. 

Since joining with Daza Dance I am dancing everywhere, on the street, in the drug store, before an exercise class- sometimes people join in with me. Once while waiting for a barre class I heard some music and started dancing the Cha-Cha. A lady from Cuba jumped up to join me and we danced together – it was a great moment.  I’ve even had someone ask me if I could teach a Salsa class – I never thought of myself as an instructor before but I began to think about taking ballroom dance into the community as a way to inspire people.

I have also been thinking a lot about choreography- I actually took a choreography class at Spelman and have choreographed 3 modern pieces for different classes. I am hearing music and coming up with concepts for dances – even though I don’t know all of the steps I am picturing in my mind.

Moving towards my dream in Argentina makes me alive with possibilities and the desire to bring joy to others through dance.
