I’m not entirely sure how to word this, but I’m going to try.

This piece isn’t about perfect choreography or getting the perfect timing. It wasn’t even necessarily choreographed, most of what you see is us just dancing around to the music and enjoying each other’s company.

No, it’s not perfect. But, being imperfect is perfect enough for me. To me, this song is a celebration of life and an appreciation and acknowledgement of all the hard work, happiness, tears, loss, heartache and passion we experience every day.

I needed to take a moment to celebrate the people that have been with me on my journey. Those who are still close to me, and those who are flying high.

Dancing this piece with my dance partner, Andrew (aka Leafy) was a celebration of the numerous times he has had my back, and I have had his. The countless times we have stood next to each other and without saying anything but knew exactly how we were feeling.

I wanted to say a huge giant fat THANK YOU to LIFE for allowing me to give and receive love.

What are you thankful for?

Dance is the language I speak.

Andrew, thank you for being my best friend.

Nick, I came to you with a vision in my head, and I don’t know HOW you did it. But you pulled every image out of my head and captured it perfectly.

Music by Ed Sheeran
Such a talented, special human being.
