As
I start a new beginning on the journey of this course, it has given me time to
reflect on the significant beginnings throughout my life.
As
a dancer there is a physical beginning, the first day of ballet class. This for
me was at the age of 3 and was the seed that was about to start its journey
into a flower. Amongst many other tots, I learnt naughty toes and good toes and
experienced the freedom of dancing.
The
next stage of my journey was at the age of 11. I fell in love with dancing and
how the music made me feel. It was now more than a hobby and was no longer
about the movement; it allowed me to express myself. This was my emotional
beginning.
At
the age of 14 I made the decision to pursue my love for dancing and continue
this as a career. This for me was my mental beginning and changed the focus of
my dancing. I now looked at class in a different light and set my eyes on the
goal of professional training.
Each
of these beginnings has shaped the dancer that I am today. In my time of teaching
dance, it has allowed me to be a part of so many journeys as I have watched the
children grow through each stage.
The
start of this course has created a new place for growth and beginnings and I am
excited to commence my new journey.
