My Mom asked me yesterday What’s your passion in life? I said Dance of course. She said No that’s your job. What’s your passion? I gave her the same answer. Sadly she said she’s lived a life never having a passion or a purpose (other than doting on my Dad). She was a beautiful painter and gave that up. She loved to write and gave that up too. My Dad followed his creative dreams and pushed me to do the same which I always have. With dance there are no limits to what ...I can create and where I can take my visions and ideas. So there’s a few messages here: Find your passion. Find your purpose. Keep discovering what turns you on. If it’s one thing that keeps you devoted that’s great. If it’s a lifetime of discovery even better. Just don’t settle for having nothing you can call your passion that’s all yours and yours alone. So here’s to great love affairs that keep us on fire, that inspire us to create and build and lead us share what we love from our hearts and our souls. #create #dancefromthesoul #danceforever #makeyourart #passionandpurpose #onetruelove See more

Dance is the cure my friends! You better believe it is! Well here we are on the fabled third Monday of January known as Blue Monday. Supposedly the most depressing day of the year which just so happens this year to fall smack dab in the midst of one of the darkest eras in our history. Right now the key to our mental and physical health is consistency, routine and structure. I fell prey to the early months of the Pandemic and got into a major slump of depression and i...nactivity. I literally danced and exercised my way out of the funk I was in which led to better eating, happier moods, clarity of mind, increased strength and overall improvement in my mental and physical health. The good news is you don’t need to make a huge investment in equipment or space or training. And you’ll feel the effects after one or two classes. So if you’re struggling with January blues, please consider trying a class of any style of dance as a form of therapy and mood booster. And if you’re looking for motivation to get started, feel free to DM me for a few suggestions to help get you moving. Dance is for life! #bluemonday #januaryblahs #getdancing #danceitout #feelalive #cheapestformoftherapy #danceisthecure #bellydance #bellydanceforhealth #mindbodysoul #mindbodyconnection #initforlife #danceforlife #bellyupbellydance #bellydanceforthesoul #stayhealthy #improveyourmood #mentalhealthawareness

To our students and friends, may this Christmas time fill your home with joy, your heart with love and your life with good health and prosperity. Thank you all for your support and your friendship. #bellyupburlington
