When I was in my 20’s, I was pressured to marry young, and start a family. That didn’t feel authentically me, just yet. Authenticity isn’t something you find out in the world, or given to me by a spouse. It’s something you return to—over and over again.
It’s not about becoming someone new or finding someone new. It’s about peeling back the layers of who you’ve been told to be, and remembering who you’ve always been.
That remembering takes courage. I couldn’t remember until I started pole dancing. When I released the shame and the limitations, and the standards put onto me by family.
Dancing freely allowed me to trust my own voice. To stop performing, pleasing, or shrinking just to make others comfortable. Pole dance helped me be authentically me.
And it doesn’t always look like a bold declaration. Sometimes, becoming more authentic is quiet. Gentle. Slow.
It looks like:
✨ Saying no without over-explaining.
✨ Showing up even when you’re not feeling 100%.
✨ Dancing like no one’s watching—even if someone is.
✨ Wearing what makes you feel like you.
✨ Choosing softness in a world that tells you to be hard.
At Dream Dance Fitness, we believe movement can be a mirror—reflecting the version of you that’s been waiting to be seen. Every class is an invitation to step into that version with a little more confidence, a little more freedom, and a lot more self-love.
This week, we’re holding space for:
🌿 Letting go of what you’ve outgrown.
You don’t have to carry outdated versions of yourself just because they’ve been familiar. Release them. Thank them. Move forward.
🌺 Telling the truth—to yourself, first.
Even if it means outgrowing a goal, shifting a relationship, or taking a different path. Your truth matters more than your timeline.
🔥 Reclaiming your joy.
Not the performative kind. The real, grounded, soul-deep kind. What lights you up? Go do more of that.
Becoming a more authentic you doesn’t require permission. Just presence. Just honesty. Just the bravery to begin again—even if you’re not sure where you’ll end up.
We’ll be dancing beside you the whole way.
See you in class.
With love and authenticity,
XOXO
