SO,
This issue has been raised a lot. Especially in the dance world. This notion that there is an ideal body type for dance. Well we at MOVEDIPR are here to tell you that looking skinny is not the same as being healthy. There is no "perfect" body, because perfection does not exist. Human beings are comprised of ALL shapes, sizes, colors, you name it. Look around you. Dance, art, and self-expression are not meant for one kind of body, or type of person, because each and every one of us has something unique and special to share with the world. Therefore, we must work together to tackle this misconception. Who's with me?
Body image is a HUGE concern for dancers, and will continue to be as society progresses and advancements are made in the industry. Taking care of our bodies is crucial, because we rely on them daily to live, breathe, and move. But having a healthy instrument doesn't mean looking skinny. It means feeling good about yourself and your lifestyle choices. It's about your muscles, your bones, your internal organs. All that stuff on the inside. Your heart, your soul. Therefore, this will feel and look different for everyone.
As someone who is very passionate about this topic, I can't stress this enough to the dancers, athletes, and movers everywhere. Your body is your home. You are free to decorate it however you'd like, and take care of it however you deem fit. Don't let images, or voices force you to believe that there is something wrong with your home. The only one living there, is you.
P.S. My dearest apologies for being MIA these past few weeks, but I'm here now, back and better than ever! Let's continue to think DEEPER together!
Peace & love,
MSB
