Ok Im going to keep it very honest right now....I love to dance and since I was 9 years old I have taken pride in being seen as a dancer. I do NOT wish to be seen as a big girl who can dance When you are a certain size in life thats all most ppl in this world seem to view you as. It defeats your identity and talent as an individual. Today in practice we had to go over this high formatted jump. I do all my moves and warm ups 100% I am not a size I am a dancer however my bad left knee totally absorbed the shock and I bit the dust. My friend made a good point at rehersal. Its a constant reminder when Im trying to get out of this box due to size. My miniskis (however u spell) has got torn over years of landing moves wrong on that knee. TONS of thin dancers also have bad knees or stay in braces. My right knee is perfectly fine. I was told I needed a surgery 5 years ago and I cant afford it. I been dancing ever since. I am hoping weight loss will help but a surgery is still needed and inevitable. I want to be the best...Idk how this new health care will effect this but I hope for the best. Still was an eye opener and experience.
