Dream

Last year I had the opportunity to choreograph a junior lyrical piece for the competitive team at one of the studios I was working for. While it may sound silly this was totally a dream come true for me! I absolutely love doing choreography and for many years as I moved to various cities around the country with my husband I didn't have the opportunity to get involved with the competitive dance scene anywhere that I taught. Finally after settling down in Calgary I had that chance!

I chose to choreograph my piece to the beautiful and thought provoking song Dream by Priscilla Ahn. Such an inspiring piece of music, that reminds us of the dreams we had as children and then allows you to refelct on what you have done with those dreams.
For me I have done my absolute best to live them. Things obviously haven't worked out exactly the way that my young 8 year old mind envisioned. But I have done all that I could to live my life in pursuit of my dreams. Dance has always been my greatest passion and while I could not actualize my dreams of becoming a prima ballerina or even a full time dancer in another style, due to physical limitations, I have lived my dream by becoming the best dancer I could and then going on to share my love and passion for dance with children of all ages all over the country.

For me dance is life. And life would not exist the way that it does if I didn't have it. To many this may make no sense, but I know that all you other dancers out there can understand completely. And so I say to you all contuiniue to live your dreams and never lose hope. If you haven't achieved them yet there is always time. And if you have there are always new ways to keep on dreaming.
