It's the heart afraid of breaking that never learns to dance!-Bette Midler

Making changes

OK... I think we all know this... we sometimes kind of get stuck in our everyday life and just carry on with it, even though in the back of our heads we know we need to change something in order to get everything out of every moment. But there are usually two problems: 1st being lazy; 2nd it can be really scary to loose controll for a moment: and thats what we need if we want to change something. But we have to get through it no matter what!! you have to life your life step by step and if we try to get out of it it won't get easier, just longer. so ill start getting out of my comfort zone and try to break old habits....lets say we all try!

The pain your dreams bring

Dreams are strong and loud and if you listen you have to fight. First it always seems clear. You are in love with what you do and you are willing to commit all your hopes and energy and time to this one thing that made you taste life. You step into the world out there with your goals and dreams and ambitions and suddenly you see you might mever life up to them. There is no middleway, no shortcuts, you cn either give up or fight like hell. Everything in life happens for a reason. Some people are meant to have it easy and some will sweat and bleed and hurt. But with every challenge you face you grow and learn so much. And you will end up with something nobody can write down in books and noone will be able to tell you. You end up knowing who you are!

I am a dancer. My art is my soul!!!

The magic of dance studios

As soon as I enter a dance studio it's as if i step into another world, it is not a better world or a worse world, just different and it lives by its own rules, in its own dynamic.A world of tired, hurting people, who probably had their alarm ring at least for half an hour before they climbed out of their beds and into the shower, desperate to wash away the tiredness from a life with long days and short nights. A world with coffee, streching, jumps, sweat... on the other hand this is a world of magic. A world where dreams are made and lived. A world of creation, creativity, diversity and passion. a world of people who are comitted to this one beautiful thing called dance because their heart beats in the rythm of the music and their feet carry them on and on on this long and rocky road and they will never reach their final destination because therew is none. There will always be a new step to be learnt and a new feeling to be expressed for their souls and for our souls. You walk into those holy rooms, put your feet on the floor and connect with the world and you breathe the art and the dreams life is made of!

I dance because walking is too hard

Don't cry if it hurts/
 use pain a a car/
to take you to yourelf/
whoever you are//

The journey is long/
 but one thing is for sure/
hope is not a disease/
it's a cure//

If walking's too hard/
just jump and dance/
fly with the angels/
and take a chance//

poem3

The survivours in our life
are the ones who keep in going
they are running into knives
get up again, never showing.

The survivours never quit
they are hurting but keep pushing through
even if it doesn't fit
they will find a way to do.

The survivours are full of hope
though they sometimes fall apart
they will find a way to cope
another day another start.

The survivours fall and fly
as up and down they're flowing
even survivours sometimes cry
but keep fighting without knowing!

Thank you to my wonderful friends

IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE: REMEMBER, NO MAN IS A FAILIURE WHO HAS FRIENDS.  One thing I couldn't be more grateful for, are the people I met in my life who offered me a place in their heart. There have been some rough times in my life and some times where I thouht life's a game it's so easy. there have been times of tears and times of laughter. But even in my darkest hours, in times of despair I always had a shoulder to cry on. And in the most joyful moments there were people happy with me. The best thing in life you will ever experience is true friendship. to love and be loved in return...conditionless. Sometimes I don't manage to call very often, but if I do they always have an open ear for me. to hear the good and the bad news. to share my tears or my laughter. Some of my closest friends are far away and still I feel connected with them and I think of them every day with love. My friends believe in me in times when I dont believe in myself. My friends love me in times when I don't love myself.
I truly think if i wouldn't have had those people around me, I wouldn't have gone anywhere. WHEN THE DARKEST SHADOWS CRAWL/ AND YOU SIT AT HOME AND BAWL/ SOMEONE SAIS: YOUR PAIN IS MINE/ IT'S A FRIEND WHO SHARES THE TIME//IF DOOR TO DOOR OR MILES APART/YOU SHARE ONE SOUL YOU SHARE ONE HEART/ MONEY AND DIAMANTS LEAVE YOU COLD/ FRIENDSHIP IS THE ONLY GOLD!!!!!!!!(petra haller)                    Thank you soooo much people!!!!!!!!!

What is motivation?

My desire for dancing developed in my heart, before I even new what dancing was. It was a dream that seemed so far away, but at the same time it was stronger than all nightmares. It was so strong that I didn't even have to think about motivation. But after enough set backs you will find yourself asking the question: how can I go on? And from then on it is motivation that makes the difference when the alarm rings! Motivation means putting 100 per cent of your time, effort and energy into preperation. A dancers life is about total commitment. If you doubt what you are doing it will bring you down. If you have the most talented and best trained body but you don't have the mental capacity to deal with the challenges that will face you, you will not go anywhere! People told me all my life: you are not pretty enough,you are not talented enough, you started too late you will never book a job! And I was thinking: Maybe they are right. But I also knew I had a will. and I was hoping that in the end that will will prove greater than genious or talent. And I trained like a maniac! And I will finish this story with a quote by martha graham that I like very much and always think of when times get rough: "BEING A DANCER WAS AN ACT OF TOTAL COMMITMENT COSTING NOT LESS THAN EVERYTHING!"
