Dance: My Path to Freedom and Self-Rediscovery

89

Hi SG Family! 🥰

The visual homework about "my favorite hobby" inspired me to talk about the one of most important thing in my life: dance. And how this changed my life!

Since I was a child, dance has always held a special place in my heart, like a distant dream. However, for many years, my life took a different path, one surrounded by religious expectations and a marriage that, in many ways, restricted my expression. Sensuality, the freedom to be who I truly was, all seemed suppressed. I felt like I had to fit into a mold that didn’t reflect who I really am.

It was a time when I lost my sense of self. My self-esteem crumbled, and I realized I was heading towards depression. The suppression of my true self, of my individuality and sensuality, was suffocating me. I felt trapped, living a life that didn’t make sense to me, until something began to change.
The dream of dance from my childhood began calling my name again. It was in my adult years that I finally decided it was time to do something for myself. I started taking dance classes, beginning timidly with adult ballet. As I gained confidence, I explored other styles such as urban dances, hip hop, jazz, and jazz funk. With every new step, I felt myself becoming more and more free.

With every movement, every choreography, I rediscovered myself. I felt my self-esteem come back to life, and for the first time in a long time, I truly felt free. Dance brought back my sensuality and, more importantly, it gave me the strength to take control of my life. It was through dance that I found the courage to leave an environment that no longer served me, to break free and finally become the woman I always wanted to be.

Today, dance is not just a hobby for me, but a symbol of freedom, empowerment, and self-discovery. Every class, every step, is a reminder of everything I’ve overcome and the strong woman I’ve become.
With all love, Bloomie 🩷
