Dance Therapy: Embrace Your Inner Lioness Through Tough Times
I'm finally working up the courage to break down another barrier of fear. I was publicly mocked in school when I was younger for my dancing. At the time I knew nothing of "how one should dance". I spent years secretly studying others dancing and I developed my own style, this is but one style -- it is just me raw and unrehearsed feeling the energy and emotions in the air. It is me depicting a story of the coming Lioness. I am not posting this video for the sake of promoting myself in any way. However, I'm feeling the Collective's energy is feeling oppressed. Therefore, I decided now is the time -- I've been sitting on this decision for awhile for fear that it would destroy the respect people may have for my words as my dancing is very vulnerable to me (and I'm shirtless); it is very separate from the other version of me that writes. I channel many characters of me, and dancing is different than writing. Dancing is my church. Writing is my gift to others and my outlet. I apologize for being shirtless. I made past dance therapy videos locally for myself, and all of them had a shirt on but didn't feel like they had that "oomph" to it, however this past week when I made this video I decided "F*ck it I'm gonna go shirtless". Why? Because as a kid I hated wearing my shirt, its material bothered my sensitive skin. So this video is my inner child coming out to show its rawness while also my Higher Self showing others that Courage can be embraced and what you think is currently holding you down is only what you allow yourself to be held down by. I've lost 20 lbs since quitting the Tech industry 5 months ago but it's still a journey toning out my body. Aaron said to get sloppy and raw so here's sloppy and raw...haha. It's my very first YouTube Dance Therapy video and I'm most likely gonna get annihilated by the online community since it goes against the TikTok trends of "what's normal". But I made a decision to face all my fears and this is one of them, so "Come what may."
