I dove in head first and took to it like a duck to water.Having musicality and rhythm were my biggest assets. I started getting called to be a lead dancer and your complete demonstration person . It was only out side of home that any thing positive was said to or about me.It did wonders for my self-esteem and was one of the most empowering situations in my life to date.
When I danced, I felt passionately absorbed by and in it, nothing and no one can break my spirit right now.There were times, where I had to walk away to cry because it was so emotionally expressive and exhilarating.I would get home and pass out from exhaustion but was ready again next morning, I woke up early to practice while every one was asleep because i did not want any one to bring a negative vibe .
Even though I did not have the support of my family in this personal venture,I felt like for the first time I found something that helped me to release all the pent-up hurt inside of me , that was eating away at my soul like acid poured on flesh.
When it was all said and done our group placed 3th in the finals.Wining would have been excellent but for me just being able to express my self in a different art form both empowered me and gave me courage to walk into future with a bit more confidence.
Today I still dance a little mostly for exercise but, my son has show great interest and potential in dancing. We free style some times and it is an awesome feeling to share something so wonderful with someone am genetically connected to, it's a bound we share that can't be broken just like my love for him.
