Empower (v) make (someone) stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their life and claiming their rights. This dance season has consisted of many growing experiences for me.

Live, Love, Dance: “Sorry, not today, I am too busy!” ;)
When I was a sophomore in high school I went on a few dates with a senior boy that was oh so cute!

In a world where everything is so instantaneous, ballet training is aContinue reading “Tuesday’s Thoughts: Whys is ballet so darn hard?!?!”
Live Love Dance: Tuesday’s Thoughts :)
A little over a month ago I got into a car accident. It has been challenging because the tasks I completed daily to run my small business were suddenly difficult.

This process has taught me not only to give myself grace, butContinue reading “Live Love Dance: Tuesday’s Thoughts :)”
