Try On A Pair Of Heels

You never know until you try

Try On A Pair Of Heels

You don't know what you are made of until you try on a pair of heels.

This whole summer I wanted to try to invest my time into learning how to dance in a pair of heels because I wanted to try something new, considering that I come from ballet, jazz, and hip-hop background.

When I took my first class, I struggled with finding my own confidence, learning how to balance in heels and understanding timing. I forced myself to keep going and eventually now I've found how to be confidence on the dance floor, I tried different heels with bigger heels to help with my balance and gained a solid understanding of hitting certain moments in the dance to make them stand out.

I definitely recommend anyone to take a heels class based off of two things.

First, you'll feel so much better about yourself. Life can be hard and cruel, sometimes which is why it's important to let it go. Heels classes are very positive and the instructors design the class so you are not set up to fail but to perform. If you make a mistake in class, you are completely fine. That's what class is for.

Second, I never realized how much that I sweat and burn so many calories in that class. The warmups are hardcore which consists of butt/ab workouts. It's not just some silly class, it's a real sport. It's not easy making something look easy when it's hard. But you learn to let go and have at it because it's such a beautiful freedom to be you.

From that one day of trying something new, I take three heels classes a week at Broadway Dance Center and I feel terrific about myself and it's very therapeutic to just dance.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
