When I look back, some of the best moments of my life were spent while dancing.
I grew up learning jazz dance at a local studio and continued for eleven years until I graduated high school. I absolutely loved the thrill of being on a stage and performing - it's an adrenaline rush like no other.
It turned into a passion of mine, and although I'm no longer in the spotlight on a stage somewhere, I carried on those dance lessons throughout my life - practicing at weddings, girl's nights at the bar, concerts with friends... even in front of the mirror at home :)
After watching an episode from the first season of HBO's Girls, I discovered a song so awesome that it made me want to get up and dance. By myself. In my room. Moving to the beat. Feeding off the energy of the song. No routine in mind. Just making it up as I go.
A certain happiness releases when we do this. That's why I created this print - to remind ourselves that we all should let go once in a while, turn on our favorite song, forget about our insecurities, even if we're by ourselves, and just dance!
Dancing is one of my absolute favourite things to do in the world! I have been dancing my whole life- starting when I was 3 years old when I first started doing ballet.
ReplyDeleteWhenever I am alone in my flat, I pop on some cheesy 90's dance tunes and have a boogie ... such a joy!!

I miss dancing. It was so much fun. But thank god for Just Dance for the wii! I can get down then!! HAHA!
ReplyDeleteI went swing dancing on January 1st for the first time in months--it's really an amazing feeling. No wonder so many of us get such a thrill from it!
ReplyDeleteI danced my butt off last month at my holiday party. Now, it's back to "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" in my living room. You know, I think it's time for a little Flashdance session!
ReplyDeleteLoved this post! I used to take dance classes when I was younger, and now I miss those! I think I'm going to look for more opportunities to dance...at least outside of my dorm room!
ReplyDeleteThe printable looks awesome!

I danced, too! I miss it so much sometimes. And I love Girls -- that song has become my JAM since I saw that episode! :)
ReplyDeleteI really, really miss dancing. I use to do ballet and jazz but now I pretty much dance around the living room :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely miss dancing. I danced ballet for a while and I used to hit the clubs a ton.. dance was always in my life. It was freeing and fun. I need it back! Thanks for sharing! :)

Hilarious video. Her tweets are the best part.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea that you danced! Addicting isn't it!? I did Jazz, ballet, tap and all that kind of stuff for about 13 years! There is nothing like being on that stage preforming! =)
ReplyDeleteI've done dance all my life too... this print makes me Happy :D
ReplyDeleteDefinitely did the Cupid Shuffle last night at a work conference. That's about as much dancing as I will do in public, even though I love dancing. I'm so shy about it!
ReplyDeleteThat's so fun! I've taken a few dance lessons, but never had the money to take very many. I can't say that I have very much natural rhythm, but it's still pretty fun to learn the steps.
ReplyDeleteAlways nice to meet a fellow dancer! I danced all my life and now am a teacher...found you through the ad space giveaway! :)
