After my post on Cirque Du Soleil yesterday, aerial dance has definitely been on my mind. I wanted to share a video which I have probably rewatched about 100 times over the past year. It is an aerial dancer from London who talks what it is like flying through the air and what struggles she has had to pass through which have led her to the point she is at now.
One of the most inspiring details about this video is the part where she talks about how she studied English and philosophy at a university and after that she decided she really wanted to dance. She trained for a year and she's been working and dancing ever since.
That story is immensely inspiring to me because I feel like that will be my story as well. I just want to dance, so I will be demonstrating courage to not stick with my original plan of medical school and I will be going with the field where I really feel alive. It is funny how much courage something as simple as that takes. I have no clue where I will end up. But there is beauty and passion in that unknown/anything is possible state of being. That is what I live for right now.
Here are some links to more of Vanessa Cook and other aerial artists:
