Comfort Zones are for Resting
Eleanor Roosevelt once said “Do one thing every day that scares you”, and Aerial Dance makes it easy to do just that. While stepping foot into the studio alone was scary enough for me, I found a multitude of new moves, tricks, apparatuses and classes to try that would...
Becoming Social Again
Growing up I was told quite often that I was a rambunctious and confident child. My parents would tell people stories about how I would go up to anybody and start a conversation or try to become their friend. I had an unwavering confidence and I can’t even recall a...
A Moving, Dancing Art
Aerial dance is such a unique form of dance that combines the beauty of aerial with the grace of dance. And if that is not enough for you then let's throw in some acrobatics to get the thrill really going! It is beautiful and different and a lot of people really...
Switching My Apparatus
This week at aerial dance I decided to switch things up and try something new which I had not done much of prior. This week I have decided to change things from pole to giving hoop more of a try. I did not think I would even be able to get up to the hoop but to my...

Starting a New Job
I recently started a new job. Just prior to starting the new job, I changed my profile picture on Facebook to a picture of me doing pole. After I had updated my picture, I realized I was about to be starting a new job. A new job with new coworkers...
Being OK with Being Sexy
For a lot of people, and women in particular, the concept of “sexy” carries a lot. It might carry the weight of a lifetime of being told “sexy” was a bad thing. Maybe it carries the weight of a despicable act that happened to them. Sexy can feel...
