We need to exploit their weaknesses and explore our strengths. They can’t dance.

Guest Post – How I Went From Burnt Out… to Owning the Dance Floor Again
Please welcome Cesar Barragan to the blog! We connected on Instagram after I saw a post of his talking about his work with dancers aged 30 to 50 years old (yes, 30 to 50!). After chatting, I knew you would be interesting in learning more. So without further ado... There’s a moment I’ll never forget. I was standing at the edge of a social dance floor, watching everyone move so effortlessly.

I Hurt My Back Doing Body Rolls in Zumba (Happy EDS Month)
I turned "the meaning of life" years old this year, but that's not why I hurt my back (gold star if you got the reference). Some exuberant body rolls in Zumba class aren't really the reason either, just the trigger. May is Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Awareness Month. Ehlers-Danlos is the reason I've been spending a lot of quality time with my heating pad.

April 8 and more snow flurries. Part of me is 110% ready for actual spring to start but another part of me isn't mad that mowing season is delayed a little more. 😄

Just a brief interruption of mud season by winter. Happy Spring?

I just filled out a "share your story" form on my representative's website and it turned into a venting session that probably won't be useful to her as a story but was cathartic for me.

Dear Manager,

1. I drank a whiskey drink.
2. I drank a vodka drink.
3. I drank a lager drink.
4. I drank a cider drink.
5. I sang the songs that remind me of the good times; I sang the songs that remind me of the better times.

Another solo practice flashback. Sometimes I would break from the choreo I was rehearsing to play with the movement. Didn't produce anything impressive but that wasn't the point. #dancesky #danceathome
