hey all...

so as many of you know, I quit dancing 2 years ago.. I recently attended a competition hosted by my former dance school and it inspired me to return.. so yesterday was my first official day back at the studio and it felt amazing. I've never felt so fullfilled... its like I got my life back and I feel great! thnx for everyones support here on DF'S ever since I've been on here.. thnx thnx thnx... glad to be back!
 
What a great story!!

I don't think we met before - but congrats on your rediscovery and welcome back to DF. I suspect that we can all empathize with how you must be feeling - even ifwe are aghast that you could have quit!

For those of us that are 'johnny (or jenny-) come latelies can you just fill us in on your dance interests?

:)
 
Aw, you know you really don't want to dance ballroom. What you REALLY want is to try Argentine Tango.

Here, have some Kool-aid!

You can take the lady out of the ballroom but you can't take the ballroom out of the lady. Glad to hear you are back into it.:rocker:
 
welcome back...may it be everything good that you once lost and more...and none of what made it go bad in the first place
 
well,

for those who arent aware... i love all kinds of dances.. i started when i was 4 years old and ive done pretty much everything.. started with ballet, then moved on to jazz and modern then to hip hop and contemporary, then to tap and none of them stuck.. then i discovered ballroom and that was it.. i was officially hooked!! ive done ballroom since i was 12 and i quit when i was 19. now, the reason for my leaving the spectacular dance world was unsatisfactory and i was yound and stupid then.. i began dancing with my former dance teacher with whom ive had the biggest crush on since i was 13.. then i began dating my boyfriend who was the complete opposite of what i would normally date but anyway.. he was completely opposed to dancing and at first everything was okay until he left for school in PA (im in NYC). and to take my mind off of missing him, i began dancing more. that led to my partner (former instructor) and i to become quite close if you know what i mean... nothing happened with us, although there were plenty of times where it could've and i began to feel very guilty... plus, since my boyfriend never understood why i dance and why i love it, although i never asked for him to understand, just to accept... he didnt and that led to many many fights and arguements which were unnecessary. so i decided to be the "bigger" person and quit for the sake of our relationship... i missed it always for the time that i did not dance and i always wanted to get back into it!!! 3 years later of my relationship, he finally supports my decision and he accepts that dancing is just a huge part of me and that it was a huge part of my life... even if he really doesnt get it, i dont really care anymore because its just who i am and i know better now not to leave something that means a great deal to me! so thats my story for those of you who were curious... but now im back for good and i missed it like crazy! and im sooooooooooo glad that i finally came back because there was a huge hole within myself until last night when i stood in front of those huge studio mirrors in my dance shoes and began dancing for the first time in a long time! it made me feel whole again! it was something i havent felt in a very long time! so thats that! im back. im happy! LETS DANCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

btw.... after much consideration and serious thought, ive decided to get a tattoo and what better to get than something meaningful right? well here is a link to the picture i want to get tattooed and around the picture will be the words "dance isnt a form, its a way of life"... let me know what you think!!

THANKS AGAIN ALL <3
 
CCL - I'm so glad things worked out for you and that you are back to dancing. I think I would die (at least get very depressed) if I quit dancing and really didn't want to.
 
Funny you should mention tattoos. I was watching a drop-dead gorgeous blond with absolutely beautiful, flawless legs dance... and she had a very ugly thick tribal tattoo around her left ankle. It was really, in my mind, a terrible thing, because if you were watching her footwork your eyes were immediately drawn to that... thing. I didn't say anything, but my friend tapped me on the shoulder and he said, "She has GORGEOUS legs. Why did she get that horrible tattoo there?"

So just be careful where you put it. I fear for all of that text to be legible the tattoo may have to be larger than you'd like...?
 
the tattoo wont be large at all and neither will the text.. im getting it done for myself not for anyone else, but if someones curious to know what it is if they cant make it out, ill be glad to tell them ;)
 
the tattoo wont be large at all.. im not getting it for the whole world to see, im getting it for myself.. but if someone cant make it out and is curious to know what it is... ill be glad to tell them!
