When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?
… I wanted to be a ballerina. I already had a year of ballet classes at that point and would go on to have another 10 years of classes before I decided it wasn’t fun anymore and switched to tap dancing classes and then added jazz dance classes to my repertoire. I stuck with those classes until I was 17 years old. Then, in my late 20s, I took adult tap classes for a year or so and really enjoyed it.
Dance was my childhood, my sanctuary, and it’s the thing I miss most since becoming a wheelchair user.
