Day 1-A Little Intro

Hey, I’m Amara! I’m a dancer in New York City.

See my little video I shot above? (If you’re on a mobile, flip it horizontally.) That’s my little studio apartment in Queens. As you can see, I have waaaaay too many books!

And the ballet shoes in the video? My mother, who introduced ballet to me, MADE those for me BY HAND… before she passed (when I was 14).

(And of course I included daisies because, of course. Hehe)

Now, something happened to me recently. It has to do with a three-week audition process I went through that landed me the dancing gig that I have now. The experience changed my life. I learned to marry body and soul, and follow the heart.

This is why I began this blog. To continue to learn and practice this. I want this blog to be my journal in exploring this idea (in theory AND practice), and a way to share it.

Thank you so much for visiting me! I appreciate you so much. My love to you.
