Introduction to my Blog!

I’ve considered writing a blog for some time now, but I didn’t know where to get started. 


My favorite hobbies are dancing, reading, and writing, so I always thought that blogging would be a good fit for me. My idea started after reading various dancer’s blogs, and grew when I started blogging for my new non-profit, Christian organization (website here, blog here), but it wasn’t until a good friend of mine began her blog about dancing that finally made me do something with my growing idea. (Find my friend’s blog at http://dancinginwords.com/.) 

I sat down one day recently during quarantine (due to COVID-19) and wrote all my ideas for my blog down. My blog’s content is mostly going to consist of things related to dance, but I also want to share about my faith, hobbies, and other things. I already have 17 ideas for future posts, and am coming up with new ideas all the time. 

Many of my posts will have relatable struggles that we face as people, dancers, and Christians, and along with those struggles, I’m hoping to offer encouragement and advice. I will also be writing about my experiences and stories, which is what I love to read in other people’s blogs. 

This blog is a new experience for me and I’m so excited to be sharing it with you. I hope that you enjoy reading my posts and find them helpful!

Dressing Modestly for Ballet

Dressing modestly in the ballet world- and not spending a fortune while at it- is definitely a real struggle. It was easy as a young dancer to dress modestly. Leotards were high in the front and back and skirts were appropriate length. Everything was cheap and easy to find. They even have a section at Walmart with little girl's ballet clothes. Once you start wearing women's sizes, though, everything changes. Dancewear stores aren't very common, so looking online is what most older dancers do. And then to find inexpensive, pretty, and appropriate leotards that match the dress code can take a long time. In this post I'm going to share what dressing modestly in ballet looks like, as well as some online dancewear stores you can try. Dress code is the biggest problem for a lot of dancers. Unless you can find a school who's dress code lines up with your beliefs, you've got a decision to make. If the dress code, whether for class or performances is inappropriate, don...

Summer Workshop 2021!

Five days till summer workshop! For the first time in two years, I'm going to attend a summer workshop at my studio! Ever since I was seven, I attended my studio's summer workshop annually. Then, in the spring of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit, causing the worldwide lockdown. Because of this, I had to miss the workshop for the first time in eight years. But after resuming classes in August, the workshop will continue as usual too.  This year I'll be taking classes in Ballet Technique, Pointe, Choreography, Contemporary, Musical Theatre, Yoga, and Conditioning. The workshop lasts two weeks, five days a week, and I'll be going six hours the first week, and eight or more hours the second week.  The extra two hours during the second week are due to the fact that I'll be teaching two classes this year! I'm tempted to share the story behind this right now, but I'm going to wait and share it next week. So keep an eye out! My posts the next couple of months will re...

Back To Dance Series- How to Avoid Injuries as You Go Back to Dance

It's easier than usual to get injured at the sta rt of a new year of dance. In today's post, you'll learn why that is, and what you can do to prevent it. Why are you more likely to get injured now? One reason is, after months of no classes, or less classes than normal, you won't have the strength and stamina you had months ago. Your muscles will get tired faster, which will result in less support for your joints.  The other reason is dancers are more likely to push themselves beyond their limits. Whether it's out of excitement or an effort to prove themselves at the start of a new school year, dancers can actually work too hard.  What can you do to prevent injuries? Now that you know why injuries are more likely to occur right now, I'm going to show you what you can do to help prevent it. To start with, go slow. Build your body back up to what it was capable of before summer. Listen to your body, and if you feel fatigue or pain, take it easy. Only attempt things...
