If you were to take a walk into my past about 15 years ago, you would have found that my life revolved around The School of Dance Arts and the South Carolina Theatre. By my Senior year, I was there 6 out of 7 days, and many days it was literally over 10 hours that I might have been there. You might say I was very passionate about ballet. It had always been a childhood dream of mine. I remember being four and watching the Nutcracker with my parents. I was enthralled with the entire thing and informed my mom that I would be on that stage one day. And yes, CHECK, that childhood dream was fulfilled. I can't explain it, dance was and has always just been part of me and even today, I still get excited when I'm able to dance. I even took ballet with me to Africa. Teaching there was so much fun, and I even found time to take a few classes of my own. Fast forward three years back from Africa, and I'm still wanting to dance. This time, I decided we needed ballet classes in Dillon. I knew that our Wellness Center had the facilities to offer a ballet class. So, this past August, I marched myself down there and proposed to them that they needed to offer ballet classes and they needed me to teach them. AND. Success! We have now had three fun classes, and they keep getting easier and easier to teach. I was pretty nervous at first, since it had been a while. Now that I'm getting into the swing of things, I'm enjoying have dance back in my life. Maybe I'll actually get back in shape . . . one can only hope!
Hey, look! It's me! My classes!
Our humble studio!
