Happy international day of dance 💃🏻 to you all, but especially the wonderful people at @rubicondance who have kept and got so many people dancing during a global pandemic. I really don’t know what my auntie Emma and I would’ve done without our dance classes this last year; they are the guaranteed bright spots in our week! I miss being in the studio so much, but dancing at hone during lockdown has actually been really good for my creativity and confidence; it feels safer trying something new when there’s no one in the room to see you look silly! Plus @estherkilbride ‘s excellent and creative teaching has helped us all blossom. Both I and Emma realised dancing is not about looking perfect; it’s about the movement feeling good, and it’s about having fun. I’m glad every day that I decided to try dance classes; dancing has given me a sense of confidence in my body that I’d not had for a very long time... and that confidence has only grown and led to me trying all sorts of exercise I never would’ve otherwise. Dance also reminds me that whilst my body causes me immense pain, it can also be something that is a joy to move. Plus, Rubicon dance classes led to me meeting some of the most amazing people I feel lucky to call friends, including my now best pal @lucyfishleigh95 is a jays willing to build blanket forts to hide in when life is too overwhelming 🥰❤️!! One day we’ll all be able to get together and dance in the same room... for now, zoom is pretty good (even when Esther’s mic occasionally makes her sound like a Dalek)! Now, go have a boogie! #happyinternationaldayofdance #disabilitydance #dancingmakesmehappy https://www.instagram.com/p/CORBFA0DhPP/?igshid=1roscsz4v99nt
