Although I am a trained dancer I am in no way on the level of professional dancers but I instinctively move my body in a way that has been described as mesmerizing, hypnotic, etc. I just flow and it’s not technical but I’ve always been complimented for it. it’s also become really fun for me to dance with people for the first time because I don’t advertise that I am a dancer so it’s a fun surprise :)
I also am really good at integrating change when needed and psychological transformation. I’m in this phase of life where my focus is on stability for myself and kids so there’s not a lot of this going on, but I still use parts of that every day. Imho parenthood requires a lot of flexibility and reflection on how to best meet the needs of your ever evolving children, and a lot of time that requires US to change.

I used to dance in classes
then it was house parties
and bars
and warehouses
and clubs
Now it’s more like my living room
with my kids,
the kitchen with my husband,
throughout the house while doing chores
But it’s always been
the grocery store
the sidewalk
the cafe
the car
the street fest
Cause really, I‘m just dancing all the time

dance is cathartic. i’ve been dreaming up all these dances to some of my favorite songs — usually when i’m driving long distances — and ive been very inspired watching my dance friends do improv challenges. i’ve decided to follow along, just in the privacy of my own home and not necessarily recording my every dance move all the time.
it’s fun seeing what feelings i want to convey somatically and using the space available to me — even if it’s my room, cluttered in crafts supplies.

Back in the spring/summer of 2020, I helped tether myself to reality by dancing. I woke up and danced. I ate lunch and danced. I danced into the evening. Every day was filled with me dancing mostly alone in my living room. I shared a lot of my dancing on instagram, most of it to close friends only. As we were all in the thick of it together, it didn't feel weird to do so. Something that would feel egotistical and embarrassing now was acceptable then. I would love to share my dancing once again, but the path has yet to reveal itself. I am always navigating the balance of wanting to be private and wanting to be seen on the internet. One day, maybe, you'll find me on here willing to bare my dancing soul. Until then, I look back to those mainly awful months of 2020 with gratitude for the virtual connection I was able to have.

Breaking my very thin, almost non existent air of mystery because I got a haircut I actually like, my favorite jeans fit again, it’s a full moon eclipse, 70°, and both of my kids’ birthdays are today!! MAGIC IS REAL AND I AM FULL OF LOVE! 💗 💗💗💗💗💗
