Please don’t say “I wish I could…”

What I wish every adult dancer would tell themselves instead

 Hello, my wonderful Adult Ballet Lover!

I just got back from London.
I spent the evening with a group of creators, people who’ve made every dream on their list come true.

They didn't have it easy.
Not everything was perfect.

They didn’t stop at “It’s hard.”

They found a way.
Again and again.

And something about that made me think of you.

Because sometimes I hear things like:
“I wish I could dance.”
“It’s just too hard now.”
“I don’t have the time. Or the body. Or the energy.”

And honestly… it makes my heart sink.

Not because you’re not allowed to feel that way.
But because I know what’s on the other side of that sentence.
I’ve seen it. I’ve lived it. Every Day.

If you hear the music and your body wants to move, 
please don’t wait.

Not for the perfect moment.
Not for more time.
Not for permission.

Start messy. Start small. Start in your socks.
Just… start.

Because one day, you might look back and wish you had tried.

And I’d rather you look back and say:
“I gave it a go. I found my rhythm again.”

Here’s a little reflection for today:

✨ Where in my life am I waiting, when I could be beginning?

It doesn’t matter how old you are.
How busy you are.
How long it’s been.

There is always time for yourself.
Always space for joy.
And always a reason to dance, if you choose to find it.

With love and a gentle poke-poke,

Alessia 💕

P.S. If you need a place to start, pick any video from the Studio today. Even if you just do the warm-up. Or stretch on the floor. It still counts.
You’re still dancing.

I personally like THIS ONE.
