Hi everyone! So I'm contemplating my next steps. The Fitness Industry is facing many obstacles, and like any instructor, I'm trying to figure out my next game plan. EOD, you will see that thousands of instructors were let go by 24 HF. It's tearing our family and industry apart. It makes me sad because I realize my classes with over 100 people are no more. No more BollyX "Movies." I mean, we really had a full-on SHOW! Now, when I go back, who knows??
While many will say, "Oh, I just do it for fun." or "I have a real job." Those words hurt me. I love it so much, that it's ALL I DO! I gave up my other career to be here. Seriously, last year! I jumped in without knowing if there were stairs to land on! LOL
Fitness is ALL OF ME! It's my FT income to pay rent and feed myself, my son and my mom.
To those hardcore peeps, who workout with me every week! You are my lifeline right now. Some people do fitness part time. I do it because I love it, myself and it incorporates my dance principles to how I live LIFE, plus it's a great example for my son and our next generations. I've danced for over 20 years, mostly African Haitian, and performed throughout the Bay Area. Dance is my whole soul, and spirit. It empowers me and has saved me as a woman, a mother and for the future. It's who I am. I would not be alive today if it wasn't for dance. I really wouldn't, and many teachers mentored me and guided me through this journey. I am not in this for popularity or for how many students attend, I am in this because I've witness lives being saved, and friends becoming who they want to be through dance...
If you are in my group, please join a class! It makes my day! Truly! I would love to see your beautiful faces and bodies on TV! Yay!
Staying Strong is a choice with your mind, body, & spirit. When I look back on my life, I will know that I danced almost the ENTIRE WAY.
Universe, here I come... Because she's destroying the old ways. And we know new things are coming. In the midst, I am trying to be realistic, but I am also excited.
How well can you stand the sweat?? Well, just in case! LIVE with DanaCarey -Strong, Zumba, Zumba Kids & BollyX (ZOOM)
