There's something about music and the way my body can just feel the beat. From my feet all the way to my head, something takes control and I just need to move.
As a child, dancing was everything to me. I loved being in front of an audience and showing off, the way people smiled and praised me was amazing. Dancing made me feel invincible! In my pre-teens, dance was something of the past- I was morbidly shy, never getting out of my chair when music was playing, even though every muscle in my body wanted me too. Being the centre of attention was not on my agenda, I just wanted to disappear and dance in secret.
It wasn't until I attended a Zumba class, that I was able to let loose and just be. I realized how much I had missed dancing, it was something that made me feel limitless and strong. Getting certified and being able to share something I love, changed me. I feel confident, happier and more myself - when I am dancing, I am 100% me.
Being able to be creative, silly, care-free that is something that I am able to do everyday and sharing that feeling, the feeling that nothing else matters at that moment, is what I hope to do.
The way I can't help but smile when I dance, is the reason I love it so much.
xoxo,
Natalie
