Free Post 2-A new year of Dance

This past week I started my 13th year of dance! I was so excited to get back in the studio after having a month off! Dance is something I put a lot of time and dedication into! This past year at the end of the year I tore my hamstring practicing my solo. It was such a hard injury to come back from. I kept re injuring it and the hardest thing was having to sit out of dance for 3 months. I never thought that an injury could put my out this long. I was being so stubborn about sitting out and kept ignoring my physical therapist to the point where he told me that I would never be able to dance or play sports again. Luckily that knocked some senses into me and I sat out of everything I did and let my leg heal. It was such a terrifying thing hearing somebody tell me that the only way you could become better was by surgery which I refused to have. 

After a hard 3-4 month of physical therapy and lots of extra work I finally was getting back to my hold habits but I was still scared of re injuring myself. I luckily still got to preform in my 12th recital but it was such a painful and hard day. Now I have learned to hold myself back if I am hurting and take everything by pain. I'm so excited for my 13th year of dance. It was so exciting to see all my friends and get to dance again!  I'm hoping that everything goes smoothly and injury free this year!
