Is anyone here an avid runner?
I’ve been trying to get into running, but I’m terribly slow. I can dance for hours no problem, but for whatever reason, I can only run one mile in about 9 1/2 minutes. I want to be one of those runners who can run for 3-4 miles and really improve my time.
Any tips?

Anonymous asked: (cont.) they're not clean. plus, these 8 ls i gained is painfully discouraging. at some point soon, i want to dance in a company (my school doesnt have a strong dance program- and i really should not be transferring, if i can help it) and right now, simply, im not good enough. i dont know what to do anymore. im sorry to write you a novel, im just sad and frustrated- i would usually dance...
Anonymous asked: (cont.) i cant speak the language, so i cant even communicate that im willing to clean mirrors and whatnot (if you're wondering, i go to an american university in a foreign country). im already working a job at the school, but that pays for groceries and emergency things. idk if i can add dance to that expense, but i just need to. i need to dance, i need to get better. there's dance club...
Anonymous asked: I feel the same way as the last anon. i always feel like it's one step forward, two-steps back. I am a late-starter (14, but decided to take it seriously at 16 or so... i'm 18 now) I have made tremendous progress in the past 2 years, i really have. (I won my school's Dance Award, and we have a pretty progressive program, i received a scholarship at my last studio), but im not...
Anonymous asked: time that years have gone by and my technique is so lacking, I feel like I've ruined all my chances. When I feel more motivated, I use my lack of technique for determination and motivation to get better, and it really helps. But most of the time it depresses me even more and I just feel like I'm never going to get anywhere anymore. I only have two more years of high school and after that...
Anonymous asked: (continued) -ication, it makes me a lot better but it doesn't solve all the problems; I still have huge motivation problems. It makes me someone I'm not and for years I've struggled with going back and forth between wanting to dance so much it hurts, and being terribly numb, not caring about anything in my life. I feel like I have no stableness inside of me to help me work through...
Anonymous asked: Helloo there, your blog is beautiful. <3 I don't really know what I'm specifically getting at, or what type of help I'm really asking for, but I feel like I need some form in whatever way, nevertheless. If you don't know what to say that's okay too. (: But anyway, I'm a sophomore in high school, and I've been dancing since 5th grade. I love dancing so fucking...

When I dance, I want to move people to tears. I dance to make people feel. When I’m dancing a song of joy and happiness, I want people to be able to feel my radient happiness. When I am dancing a story of sadness and brokenness, I want people to feel my hurt and to feel what it’s like to be…
Dark Half - Contemporary Dance Film
In my college I had to choreograph and film a dance film for my Extended Project. We filmed in a park local to where I live, filmed at 6 o’clock in the morning… on my 18TH BIRTHDAY and also in the FREEZING COLD, that’s good old British weather for you! Take a look and comment, would really love to hear what you think :) Thanks and enjoy! xox
