#dancer problems

[cabinthreeproblems]

me going to dance class on different days of the week:

Monday- whew okay, been a nice weekend, I’m all rested up and ready to go HOLY SHIT MY ARMS ARE SHAKING HOW LONG IS THIS PLANK GONNA LAST

Tuesday- oh god. I don’t wanna go do this don’t make me go do this I’m so fucking tired

Wednesday- I have to get up way early for therapy before class so I’m going to be groggy and miserable throughout 4 hours of dance

Thursday- okay you know what? This isn’t that bad. I’m actually having a lot of fun OH MY GOD MY ARMS ARE SHAKING HOW LONG IS THIS PLANK GONNA LAST

as a former dancer i'm weirdly aware of how people move and i love that the dancing doctor beverly crusher and gates obviously walks with a lil bit of a turnout 🥹

I feel like the universe is just telling me to quit at this point

Being a dancer is great because when my back hurts I can just contort myself into all manner of painful stretches rather than take a break and rest to recover

Literally in candlestick as I type this

On an actual note, cobra stretch is supreme for back pain esp when alternated w rocking boat stretch

I love to see videos of other people in ballet classes, 'cause I realize that the mistakes I make are not just mine. Many people that have gone very far had them too, and that makes me feel better. It means you can deal with it with patience and in the end you can achieve whatever you challenged yourself to.

Just a reminder that you can't give up because you feel you can't do something. Probably many others have struggled and are struggling with that too, you're not alone. Also, you have the power to do anything, with enough dedication and effort.

Don't give up

Ok ok so a little bit about me that no one asked for.

BUT YOUR GETTING IT ANYWAY!!

so when I was little there wasnt any like good superhero movies with decent quality. Yes there was fantastic four, the hulk, wolverine, and some x-men. But the ones that were out at the time were either too dark as in serious, or dark as in lighting *looking at you wolverine * for younger audiences. (I love them now ofc, but I was like 3)

Anyway when the toby maguire spiderman movies came out, I was OBSESSED. I looked up to spiderman so fucking much. I loved him and still do, I will defend him with my life.

As a visual, think of deku with all might. The merch the love the knowledge. Yeah that's me with spiderman.

Little bitty me had spiderman shoes,gloves,several t shirts(my fave was the one with the web armpit things),a sleeping bag yes a spiderman sleeping bag, hat, umbrella, bedsheets, etc. My mom went and got the first spiderman blanket fabric she could find at the time and bought it to make me a blanket. I still have that blanket it's as old as I am.

Now, one of my neighbors that I went to highschool with,who was in theatre with me and now were both members of 2 different dance teams. We were on a class field trip for the 3 day weekend. I packed my spiderman blanket because it's easy to pack its bot to heavy weight y'know, perfect size and comfy on the bus ride. I get on the bus and see my friend wrapped up in the SAME EXACT FUCKING BLANKET!

I thought it was mine, I pulled out mine and was liek" when did you get that??"

"Oh my mom made it for me, back when the first movies came out,wait what the fuck you have the same one?!?"

"Yes! Our moms really thought the same thing for their spiderman obsessed first borns huh?"

Then we both proceeded to bond over spiderman shile wrapped in our matching blankets....we also cried together after infinitely war..as our class made fun of us

I also taught this man how to tap dance because I tapped for 10 years. It ended in many sessions me crying in frustration because he was not a dancer when we first met lmao
