I'm actually ridiculously proud of this. It's my first dance in my new place, and I think my first dance since October. The floors are really hard, but I slide easily on them, and was able to manipulate my legs into stuff they normally can't do. Dance is so fucking healing and wonderful for me, and I felt like it came across in this piece. Please feedback or thoughts, they honestly help a lot -june 🌸
I did some disabled dance in the shower because I'm having a Mental breakdown, and may as well channel it in some sorta way
45 seconds of my first choreographed piece in a disabled body. I honestly didn’t know my brain could hold on to memorized pieces, and I’m so thankful for adaptive spaces for supporting my little dances. We were asked to write about a moment that impacted us, and then pick three parts from that to create moves from. I picked getting my drains out after top surgery. About how the plastic, foreign to my body was yanked out. About feeling and seeing my chest for the first Time. About how I felt scared and alone but I was still the same. My heart is the same. And my body is mine. I had a person film this during a break, so there wasn’t any music, and it’s not head on like I’d like, but yeah! Please lemme know what you think, through reblogs or anything!

Fun things from dance class last night:
-Learned how to fall out of my wheelchair -learning how to tilt side to side, forward and back without falling -how to wheelie and move at the same time -all the wheelies huddling in a corner and fooling around/doing lifts and falls, chair talk the the bipeds (hehehehe, one of the other wheelies came up with that) couldn't really join in on -growing community -hanging out after, having some cider -talking about disability, have a new "salad" analogy to talk about my stuff -a million offers to help me size a new wheelchair when/if I get one, and offer to help tweak it to make it contemporary dance equip -learning how to partner and (sorta) lift and support ambulatory dancers -also I wheeled around (tryna get to a dispensary, but they wouldn't take my out of state ID) for like TWO hours before class, and I'm so proud! I can't walk for even close to that long, and my arms didn't hurt that bad! My life is so fucking improved by having a wheelchair, wow Cons: Weird white dude sweating on me
Dance thing number two! Small clip, now I go rest my poor back and eat a waffle with icecream on it. Lots of care 💕 June (Pictured: June, a brown femme with blue hair and red glasses. They have a maroon top and basketball shorts on. They are trying to be graceful and dance in their small black wheelchair)
