I love the way my body moves through space when I'm dancing. It's like an extension of myself, a part of who I am. And being naked helps me to feel more connected to my own skin, you know? Like my body is just this beautiful instrument that I can use to create art.
I remember when I first started taking ballet classes as a kid - I was so awkward and clumsy! But my teacher saw something in me, and she pushed me to keep going even when it felt like giving up. Now, I'm one of the instructors myself, helping other kids find their own passion for dance.
There's this one piece that we do where you're supposed to be a flower blooming in the garden. You have to use your entire body to create the movement - arms outstretched, legs bent, torso twisted. It's all about conveying emotion through your body language. When I'm doing that pose in class, I always feel like I'm becoming one with the landscape itself.
