Dear Reader,
So it isn't so much "ready, set, go" it's more "and 5, 6, 7, 8." This is the first post of my official WISE project blog! Super exciting if you ask me! There has been a lot of talk about what people are doing for their WISE project and what things they are going to make or what skill they are going to learn, and I guess my project will have a final "thing", but I want this project to be a lot more than that. My goal by the end of the next 16 weeks is to choreograph and preform a dance solo in my studio's end of the year recital. I have been dancing for about five years and have competed at both regional and national competitions. I have competed two solos over the years, both acrobatic solos, to Cry Me A River and When I'm Gone. I have been able to hold my own in the dance world, I even place fourth at a national competition last March (needless to say I was pretty excited!) But my dance career has come to an abrupt halt over the last six months.
I already had a bad ankle and shouldn't have been competing in the first place, but I thought I could push through the pain and dance anyway. Wrong. It took one wrong landing at a competition in July to completely shatter my ankle and end my dancing career.
I had my surgery on August 28,2012 to fix the damage and everything was a success!It has been nearly six months of no activity (barely walking has been a struggle!) and it is time for me to get back on the dance floor! During the next semester I am going to learn how to dance again and how to choreograph a dance with totally different restrictions than before. I'm not sure what the journey will be like, but I'm ready to find out!
Talk soon,
Abbie :)
