🌟✨ Rediscovering Myself Through Dance ✨🌟
When I look back on my dance journey, I can't help but feel a wave of gratitude and joy. 🌈💃
For me, dance is way more than just moving to music—it's about empowerment, strength, and self-love. Whether you're a mum rediscovering herself, a superwoman needing a break, a student making new friends, or a grandma with stage dreams, dance opens its arms to everyone. Choo La La is a supportive, non-competitive environment where women of all ages and backgrounds come together to shimmy and shake their way to confidence.
My journey started with a 5-week teaser in the Halloween block 2023. I got hooked immediately and signed up for the Christmas block, where I performed in the opener, the closer, and our class dance. Then, I took the plunge into a full 12-week block, which was four dances, diving even deeper into this amazing community. The recent Pineapple Paradise block, with its Miami beach vibes and hot summer salsa, was unforgettable.
Next up is one of the shorter 9-week blocks, and I’m stoked to try a new style: R&R – This cheeky, provocative class promises to be a little bit naughty and a lot of fun. Think leather, lace, and maybe even a whip or two! 🌹🔥
But it's not just about the dance. It's about the friendships, the connections, and the journey of self-discovery. From my very first teaser block, I've built a beautiful circle of friends who inspire and support me every step of the way. We even go on beach walks with the dogs at 6am :D
Reflecting on a recent retreat I went to, I am really recognising the importance of self-love and gentleness and I started working on embracing all facets of myself. I've promised to be gentler with myself, moving toward self-acceptance and empowerment.
Dance has not only helped me reconnect with myself but also brought a community of wonderful people into my life. It’s been a fantastic way to boost my mental health, have fun, and build lasting friendships. If you’re curious about how dance can improve your mental health. Here’s to more shimmies, shakes, and endless empowerment! 💖
