Music gives me all the feels. I imagine most dancers feel that way. It’s a huge part of who I am, it makes me work harder, run faster, love more, and leap higher. Songs identify certain times in my life, certain people, the happy, sad, the good and the bad. I am always chasing new songs that “move me”. I must say I found some good ones. A few that made tears sneak out and trickle down my cheeks. You know thats a sure sign it will be on repeat, and if I teach you played loudly in a hot, dark winter classroom.
I hope you took on the last blog post, reflected on 2018 and put some “on pointe” goals in place for 2019.
These songs are a gift from me to you always! LOVE K
