I know
The feeling of worry when you get hurt and wonder if taking time off of dance would speed up the healing, but you know you’d rather push through the pain and not risk losing your momentum.
I’ve been there. In fact, I’m just coming out of that time.
The tension of an audition, and the exhilaration of getting the role.
Tension, yes. Exhilaration: never got there.
The feeling in a class when you’re giving 100%, but then when the teacher looks at you, and you suddenly give just a little more.
Been there. Done that. (Do people say that anymore?)
The rush of hitting a full split for the first time.
*sigh* nope. Got really close way-back-when.
The realization that you’re taking on too much at once…and dance is the thing that ends up on the chopping block.
I’m still not sure my sister’s forgiven me for this one.
The joy of returning to class after years and years away.
Yes, and the muscle aches that come with it.
