I longed to be a dancer even though I have two left feet.
I even persuaded our local dance teacher to give me and four of my friends to give us a dance lesson.
I could see the despair in her body - her face and hair was frozen in the dance teacher mould.
In Manchester there was a Pineapple Dance shop - the closest I could get to the dance craze of Fame.
When I saw this grey sweater in my local charity shop it took me back.
And forward.
After this photo was taken I spent the day teaching yoga in two local primary schools which includes movement and singing (which is how we get early years to breathe rhythmically and yes its been Covid cleared).
So who knew that one day the clumsy teem with two left feet who couldn't sing a note would be enjoying gainful employment as a professional performer.
Today I wore:
Trainers: Nike
Leggings: Sweaty Betty
Pineapple Jumper - Oxfam
I love finding something that reminds me of my early years - what a fun flashback for you to find that sweater! So cool that you are teaching yoga, Jane!
ReplyDeleteYes yoga is another career avenue.
DeleteSo far I've been a journalist, a creative writing tutor in prison, an English teacher, a student support mentor and now yoga teacher. I wonder where my next career will take me!
