Want a Piece of Me?

Dancers dance as a "hobby." Something we do on the side because it supplements our other "tangible" things. Like jobs, or projects, or awards.

But the most excruciating part soul of a dancer's process is the exorcism that happens after each performance. After the curtain closes, there is something that we can never, ever replicate - a creation and a feeling that we can never get back. We leave behind a piece of ourselves - something that now mysteriously belongs to the stage that others will dance on - the stage that other dancers will victoriously lose to.

So when you think that dancing is something fun, make no mistake. It's fun. But remember that there lies a piece of our soul that we give to you, never expecting it to come back. And that feeling, is the realest, most hauntingly tangible, I will ever know.
