Back from the dead? Or does it just feel that way?

When you're a younger dancer you are trained that taking a break will set you back. Two weeks off is three months of training gone. You're warned that allowing yourself to recover through injury will hurt your future and your potential. Some dancers push through their injuries and are fine, for a while, while other dancers are not as        risk-centric and allow themselves the proper amount of time to heal.

I've recently taken an emotional break from the dance world. I no longer work for a dance studio and am currently pursuing training from a local college to expand my modern repertoire. It feels good to be out of the drama filled studio atmosphere! I suppose as with any place in life there are good parts and bad parts and all the little obnoxious gray spaces in between. I'm ready to start taking my dance as an art to new levels and I couldn't do that within the place I was. Time for a revamp!

I cut my hair, bought new clothes, started a new job and met new people. I feel like conquering the world! Taking this time off has helped me remember what's important to me and where I would like to go. I'll keep you all updated on my progress with this over the next few years!
