Pole dancing has probably been one of my favorite take aways of Aerial Dance so far.  It combines dance, acrobatics, and gymnastics on a vertical type of pole.  It has been such a fun and empowering experience for me and has been a great way for me to stay fit and in...

You can love yourself and still want to be better or do better.  Please repeat that again to yourself, and maybe again and again and again.  Until you believe it. You can love yourself today, and still want better. That has been a realization I have very slowly begun...
