As I reflect, on the 2 year anniversary, of my biggest body injury to date... I have completely changed my approach to the thing I love most... DANCE. Can I still do what I love? Absolutely! But it now comes with more cautious choices. As dancers, we are often asked to push ourselves to do things we haven’t trained our bodies to do. Therefore, majority of us, end up in injuries. We often keep quiet about our injuries, because we are driven and scared to be replaced. So we just fight through the pain. That’s why a lot of dancers don’t make it past their thirties. It’s not that we don’t have “it”... our instrument just simply cannot do what it once did. I often hear the phrase, “...but you’re Trina, you can do anything!” Maybe that was once true, as I dared to do it all. But, as I am now in my late 30’s, I developed fear and a lack of trust in my body. And I know that stems from injuries. But I can still do a mean two step 😜 I will continue to push and trust my body to the limits, but I now understand those limits. Take care your body! This dance reel has highlights of me in my 30’s and as a mom. Women are strong 💪🏽 Enjoy! Also, I am often asked to do a variety of dance styles... which style would you like to see me train my body in again??? #dance #dancer #dancemoms #coolmom #30s #artists #highlights #variety *I don not own the right to the music.
