so… it was last Tuesday of the month, and the last round with this #jazz#choreography. and yeah, it’s not exactly a masterpiece from my side – actually far from it. closer to tragedy – especially when I’m watching it. but you know, it’s #jazz – my own little nightmare – and it’s tricky. it always is. I regret that I’m not as good as I’d like to be. but maybe that’s fine.
i’m putting this #video up here – again – and again, it’s kind of a little reality check for myself.
it’s the last take of this piece, so it’s like: okay, this is where I’m at, and this is how much work there still is to do. and that’s that.
I watched a Polish #video the other day – a #conversation between journalist Bogdan Rymanowski and professor Grażyna Cichosz. It’s called “żywieniowy przekręt (link here),” which roughly means “the nutrition scam.” It’s a long, emotional talk about #food, #health, and a global #conspiracy that, according to the professor, has been poisoning us for decades. I didn’t plan to watch it. someone I know sent it to me, meaning it was worth watching. but I could feel what she meant. and that’s what caught my attention – not the #video itself, but how easily we still believe in something just because it feels powerful, dramatic, or brave.
the #contemporary classes with @kamila are not ordinary or easy. i have a lot of thoughts about these classes. yesterday @kamila came up with a funny choreography for us. we are learning, although it is just the beginning, it is already fun…. i leave fulfilled….
it’s been a while since I last wrote to you, and I guess it’s finally time to tell you what’s been going on. fifteen months ago, I decided to do something completely crazy. I mentioned it before:
https://wasfine.life/you-can-dance
well… I started learning to dance.
it was a wild idea, especially for a 38-year-old who had never danced before. the thought felt both thrilling and terrifying. I remember how many people looked at me like I’d lost my mind when I told them about it.
and, you know, from the very beginning, it didn’t go smoothly. it was hard, awkward, sometimes even tragic. there were days when I was completely devastated. every step, every movement required huge amounts of determination and patience. I was learning how to walk, stand, and jump all over again. I fought against decades of bad habits. often, I felt like I ended up in that dance school by mistake.
there were moments when I thought I’d give up — that I’d just go back to my comfortable chair and quit. but despite all the struggle, I didn’t. I kept going, working hard every single day, fighting my limits and weaknesses. my journal was the only witness to what I was going through.
and yesterday, right on my 40th birthday, at @revolution dance center dance center – the school that has been putting up with me for months, patiently enduring all my failed attempts – there was a show. it was a special moment I’d been waiting for with both excitement and tension.
I performed in three different groups. each one felt like a milestone on my dance journey. I was full of energy and pride — proud that I’ve come this far, that I was there, dancing. for the first time in my 40 years of life.
it was an amazing adventure — one that’s only just beginning. learning to dance turned out to be not just a challenge, but a passion I want to keep growing.
I also have a short film summarizing these last fifteen months of my life. may it be an inspiration for you — the same way it is for me — to follow your dreams, even the weirdest and most absurd ones.
