Hi Friend,
During times of sudden change and disruption it is easy to feel disappointed and dismayed.
It feels uncomfortable and unfair especially when right before you felt on top of the world.
In 1995 I was a young business woman on fire.
I was a free car driver with Mary Kay and was planning on going back to finish my degree in dance performance.
It all came to an immediate end with a car crash because a young man didn't see a red light.
In one moment being in the wrong place at the wrong time my life as I knew it was over....
I was depressed and afraid and so sad. I had no direction, or belief in my future. Everything I had planned was no longer an option....
or so I believed.....
My friend urged me to meet him at an annual dance in NYC.
I reluctantly got dressed and took the train in to NYC to meet him.
It was the Annual Thanksgiving Weekend Dance sponsored by the Antranig Dance Ensemble.
While standing in line to pay for a ticket I was recruited into a World renown dance troupe AGBU Antranig Dance Ensemble while wearing a NECK BRACE!!!!
True Story!
I thought Joyce the dance director had lost her mind and must have been blind.
She has assured me that she was not and I wasn't the only one dealing with an injury
And the if I love to dance I should come.
Who knew that 3/12 years of her patience, belief in my and lots of physical therapy I would be chosen to dance Lincoln Center Stage with them in 1999.
These are photos of smaller shows because success is a process.
It was in taking the baby steps I was able to take the big ones.
I trusted Joyce and her proven process to create dancers even after life changing injuries.
She believed in me when I didn't and she walked me through the process and supported me every step of the way. |
