A Dance Way of Life
Dance is our way of life...
What makes up a dance lifestyle?
​
It is...
-
Waking up and being excited to dance...even if you are dead tired and just trying to get to your next day off.
-
Eating a fueling breakfast to get you through all the physical activity that lies ahead – and don't forget the coffee since you were up late teaching.
-
Drooling over leggings and leotards while other people are drooling over cars and designer bags.
-
Day dreaming about traveling for work and landing that dream job while desk jobbers are dreaming about holidays and paying off a mortgage.
-
Getting excited about doing things that are not dancing...but only in moderation, because over 24 hours is way too long.
​
Plus many more things...and we love every minute of it.
