Erika, thank you! Oh, The Nutcracker has a special place in my heart. Reading your story here and the knowledge/experience you have in this beautiful art of dance, gave me such joy. Yes! Yes! Engage with the movement again if it is calling to you. Can't wait to hear how you and dance meet together again.
I lost my song! Twenty three years ago, my world collapsed in on me. Itās what pros call āa major life eventā. No sense in going into the details, but suffice it to say it left me in pieces. On a whim, or dare, depending on how you look at it, I started classical voice training. I got a very rough start, but I couldnāt let one more thing to fail! I persisted and got pretty good too! And, as things started going sideways a fell once again, I lost my song. While I havenāt found my song, I have found some laughter... and thatās a good start. ā¤ļø
Damn straight a "major life event!" I did not know that's when you started voice training. I love this so much. And to have found some laughter now, is a good start. You are on a path to finding your lost song. Thank you for your story and for letting us here, learn from you.
Beautiful post, Mary! š¹
In December, I watched a performance of The Nutcracker and had a surreal experience as an audience member. You see, I used to perform in this for years, so I knew just about every part! I was starstruck by the beauty of the artistry, music, and production quality. Iād hold my breath during certain scenes, knowing the secret effort it takes to accomplish a certain movement or series of steps. I hung up my ballet shoes over 13 years ago, and Iām realizing how much the art still means to me. I want to find more ways to engage with movement myself. Maybe taking drop in adult classes? š©°

Iām glad it could give you joy. Iāll have to look into some classes now. š
