Best wished for a complete and speedy recovery from your surgery. I think it was a great idea to record your dances....you can always do the upper body moves, even if your feet can’t quite make the same steps for a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dedicated-to-all-of-us-who-sometimes-feel-the-pressure#post-1901524 Sun, 25 Mar 2018 15:21:48 +0000 Angie 1901524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>HAH, you are adorable, and a natural dancer. SUPER cute and fabulous. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dedicated-to-all-of-us-who-sometimes-feel-the-pressure#post-1901491 Sun, 25 Mar 2018 12:14:14 +0000 krishnidoux 1901491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Cardiff Girl</b>, hugs to you (as long as they don't hurt!!!). I agree that I have a natural gift with flexibility: it's not normal I think to be able to do some of the moves so easily, especially at my age. I am so sorry you've had to change your workouts and cut out some things. Luckily you can swim, which is such a complete (and effective) exercise. Thank you for writing back again. You are not grumpy, I can tell you that!</p> <p>I filmed these little clips and others this week because on Friday, I had surgery on my left arthritic toe. I had been waiting in pain for 5 years for this! Progressively, I had to discard one by one my most favorite and expensive pairs of shoes because of the bone spur my body was producing, to "protect" the sick joint, formed a ball making it impossible to wear most pumps. I could still move the toe a little which allowed me to dance, but I had to buy specific dance shoes that are very padded and restricted my movements a little because they are so slippery. A good thing, making me use my upper body so much more, and preserving my feet. But now the surgeon removed the extra bone. Recovery will last many weeks if not months, and I probably won't be able to dance again before fall. So swimming it will be for me until then - but only in two weeks when the cast comes off. When I filmed these, I had in mind that maybe after this intervention I will never be able to dance again! But that's just paranoia I am aware. Still... it's scary. I'll try to integrate the cast to my newfound badass style direction as much as I can </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dedicated-to-all-of-us-who-sometimes-feel-the-pressure#post-1901488 Sun, 25 Mar 2018 11:52:06 +0000 Cardiff girl 1901488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don’t worry Krishnidoux,it’s not you it’s me.I hurt my back badly a few years ago and it’s funny how a long term injury changes your mind set.I used to be very fit and now I watch some one as flexible as you it makes me wince because I know how much pain I d be in if I tried to do something like that,I have to remind myself that you are not in pain doing that and that it’s normal for most people to be able to do things like that.This is not a plea for sympathy I’m not disabled I still go swimming and to the gym it’s just certain things are no longer possible and seeing you do your funky thing just reminded me but that is absolutely no reason for you to feel bad or guilty in fact all the more reason for you to appreciate what you can do especially as you mentioned how it helped you to overcome some of your own difficulties in life.l m a big believer in exercise as a therapy for all sorts of things so as I said good for you and keep at it and ignore grumpy old people like me ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dedicated-to-all-of-us-who-sometimes-feel-the-pressure#post-1901472 Sun, 25 Mar 2018 08:49:49 +0000 Amy Isabella 1901472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Brilliant ......

I'm so sorry I made you feel that way. On the contrary, this little routine was designed with a thumb-nose to supposed ideals in mind.&nbsp;<br /><b><br />Ryce</b>, you ask me if I had formal training, well, the answer is no. The truth is that I opened myself to dance freely like this only later in life.&nbsp;<br />Here is what: I grew up in a very strict catholic culture where as a girl, I was not encouraged towards sports. Lots of details skipped here, I started working out in aerobic classes in my mid-twenties as a recovery strategy from anorexia, precisely because I was so bad at this activity. My movements were jerky and all over the place. I&nbsp;had this intuition that salvation out of perfectionism and competitive eating disorder was in doing something I was <i>not</i> good at. Well it did help me, I kept with it and low and behold, 25 yrs later, I am in a place where I can play with it without too much self consciousness.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>In my 30's I did a lot of "aerobics" anf kick boxing; in my 40's I started yoga - finally. This made me very aware of what <b>Gigi</b>&nbsp;you call "lines" I guess: fluidity, stability and core. Then, one day about 3 years ago, a friend posted a video of a Charleston competition on my Facebook wall and I was fascinated. I started practicing Charleston on my own, from jazz and electroswing moves I learned on Youtube. I imagine real dancers can tell I don't have technique. I still have so much to learn.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dedicated-to-all-of-us-who-sometimes-feel-the-pressure#post-1901437 Sun, 25 Mar 2018 02:05:46 +0000 Column 1901437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You, girl, can dance.

Did you have formal training when you were young, or are you a late-blooming talent?<br /> I can’t dance well at all, but totally get what you mean about moving to music. I take Megaformer and spin classes - while I like the machines, the music is the real attraction and the beat is what keeps me going when I’m getting tired.<br /> Thanks for sharing your joyful workout with us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dedicated-to-all-of-us-who-sometimes-feel-the-pressure#post-1901399 Sat, 24 Mar 2018 23:22:24 +0000 Style Fan 1901399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks like a lot of fun!&nbsp; Thanks for sharing.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dedicated-to-all-of-us-who-sometimes-feel-the-pressure#post-1901397 Sat, 24 Mar 2018 23:20:16 +0000 Gigi 1901397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow!

It happens, because we constantly must fight off wrong images... this hit song played a lot, the Pstmodern Jukebox made the finest remake and this little workout routine is my own interpretation.&nbsp;<br />;)<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=68F4Z_RzudA&amp;feature=share">https://www.youtube.com/watch?.....ture=share</a></p>
