I moved!

You can now find my random musings (about dance and pretty much everything else) over here:



See you all there ;)

Planning only helps so much...


There are some things people don't know about me...
1. I'm a lot more of an attention whore than I appear.
2. Sometimes I do child-like things (like jumping in puddles) just because it's fun... there isn't any form of subtext in it.
3. I'm a lot more insecure and gullible than people realise: I gave up auditioning at 23 because my principal dance teacher told me I wasn't good enough. After 3 years of her telling me this I believed her: I shouldn't have.
4. I make a lot of plans... and rarely act on them.


Well ok a brief glance at this blog and you would've realised this last one so that's not so unknown!


Ok back to the point: #3 bugs me. And has done for a while. I am a good dancer but because I'm short and not as flexible as my younger competition I was told to give up... and I listened to her.

There's realism and there's plain bitchiness.

Obviously I'm never going to be a Rockette (too short), I will never be a prima ballerina (too turned in) and cruise ships are out of the question (I get seasick)... but that doesn't mean I can't dance!


Today I wrote my 'to-do' list for my newly updated life plan that I'm actually happy with, I printed up business cards and updated my Danceplug profile. Later tonight I'm going into the studio to record some more choreo and post it on youtube...

Everything is set for the green light... all I need now is the OK to stay in Canada and I'm ready to go!





I hearby swear to never let someone else's negativity stop me from persuing my dreams.

Nu-uh, I'm a good dancer... and I intend to do everything in my power to prove that.
