Dance is MY therapy

Dance is MY therapy

"I suffered from an eating disorder for most of my adolescent years, and whilst I got better physically a lot of  emotional stuff was not dealt with. I had always danced my whole life, but it wasn't until I stopped that I realized how important it was. There seemed to be something missing from my life. When I started dancing again, I knew straight away this is what I needed. I started exploring a range of dance forms including dance therapy and creative dance and this is what led to me finally being able to heal. Through dance I confronted a number of demons and issues that I previously had not had the strength or capacity to deal with in other ways. I now do not go a day without dancing in some capacity, it allows me to express and release in a creative and safe way!"

"I am surrounded every day by people who are inspired by and inspiring each other with their creativity and love of dance. It's sometimes hard to remember that at the basis of all of it is the simple love of expression through movement- telling a story with our bodies. It is this love, this desire which drives the people I care about. As a very vocal person it has opened my eyes to see so many people who express themselves so clearly and so freely without saying a word"
