I am a Private Dancer and I Dance for Money

I loved performing at Bar Mitzvah's when I was in high school. I do not remember the pay rate, but I loved the intimacy of the performance.

Each Bar Mitzvah was unique and the dance floor had unlimited opportunities. I could dance for hours and I loved doing just that.

The dancers took turns dancing solo and with the guests.

I had so much fun and I was able to catch my breath in between dance moves. I truly enjoyed how sweet this was and how I felt special.

As I got older, I stopped performing but still love the craft of dancing.

I wanted to be the world's best salsa dancer and to compete in major competitions all over the world.

I wish my true abilities worked better than my imagination.

I could think of so many difficult dance transitions but my frail body was not able to perform at a high level.

I still can dwell on the days that I was in performing arts school and any fun routines I was able to perform or when I was a cheerleader after having a bad car accident where the jaws of life were used to take me out of the vehicle.

I remember my ortho specialist telling me I would never be able to dance again.

WOW...life is funny that way that I got to dance anyway.
