Hey Team,
We hope you all enjoyed a lovely Easter at home with your families? We had a good rest and of course ate lots of chocolate, but we are now really looking forward to starting classes again and seeing you all online. We just had a zoom meeting and have something exciting planned for you all- more on that later!
Last week you heard our stories and we shared our love for dance. We now want to share a few things from our dancers and their responses certainly brightened our day!
In Priya’s words...
“Dancing makes me feel happy and joyful. When I’m sad I usually dance, and then I feel better”.
Lena says she loves dance because…
“Dancing for me is like going on a walk with my family. Dancing is another world".
So cute!
We also wanted to share this from Valentina who is 12 years old…
I started dancing when I was 7 years old and since then BE.DANCE are like my second family. Becca and Amy have made me fall in love with dance and their dedication and passion for dance has inspired me. I couldn’t imagine my life without dance in it.
It makes me feel free.
I can’t explain it in words but it’s something I have to do. It’s part of me. Sometimes, I feel like Dance sets me free and allows me to be myself. It makes me feel like I can do anything I want to do.
It’s my happy place, the place where nothing else matters and the place where I can forget everything that is troubling me.
I dance because there is no better feeling in the world and I LOVE IT. Dance has taught me discipline and how to be part of a team. It has taught me that disappointment is good because it will make me a better dancer and that the only way to improve is to give 100 percent each and every time I dance. I don’t’ always get middle centre or even front row but it has taught me to strive to be my best and never give up on my dreams. If I don’t get the position or the solo, I pick myself up, dust myself down and carry on because with hard work, my time will come. I don’t dance for gold medals or to be the best dancer in the room, I dance because it completes me and I learnt along time ago that the only competition I should worry about is becoming a better dancer myself than the dancer I was yesterday.
“ If you dance with your heart, your feet will follow”
This is my favourite dance quote.
Thank you all for sharing!
