#takeittothefloor

For me, it's that moment of silence; silence in time and inside the music. It seems like nothing is moving but me. It happens when I float in a pirouette or fly in a grand allegro. I'm filled with energy and tranquillity at the same time. I live for that moment. It's the beauty I see on stage and in the mirror during class. To me, I am my most beautiful when I am dancing. I think a ballerina is the ultimate icon of beauty and elegance. Her etherealness, it takes my breath away. I want to be a ballerina who inspires others in this way. It's the butterflies I get in my stomach right before a show, an audition or even a class. evaluation, and then the adrenaline rush I feel when I step out to dance. I feel as though it's a sign of progress and the anticipation of moving towards something greater. It's the change in me. I am a better person with discipline, drive, desire and determination. This is why I love dance.
