What a week! 💃🎭
Performing in Guys and Dolls has pushed me right out of my comfort zone — learning dance moves, singing, and being part of such a fun, talented cast of all ages.
There was so much communal effervescence — that wonderful buzz of shared energy, laughter, and joy that comes from creating something together. Backstage was full of fun, kindness, and camaraderie — a real community spirit that reminded me how powerful it is to connect through creativity.
As writes in The Joy of Movement, “Joy is an ancient emotion that connects us to life and to one another.”
I truly felt that this week — through movement, music, and being part of something bigger than myself.
And let’s not forget the power of singing — it lifts your mood, strengthens your lungs, releases endorphins, and bonds people in the most joyful way. It’s such a tonic for body and mind. 🎶
It’s been amazing for my health, confidence, and joy — especially in midlife, when dance moves and lines take a little longer to stick! Proof that it’s never too late to try something new, move your body, and let yourself shine on stage (or wherever your passion takes you!).
So here’s my challenge to you: go find your passion and joy! Join a local group — amateur dramatics, painting, singing, dancing, anything that makes you feel alive. You’ll find community, laughter, and a whole lot of joy waiting for you.
Feeling grateful, energised, and slightly amazed I remembered all the moves — well, most of them!
