Ok my third theater experience was with @deeplyrootedchi dance company. And let me tell you, the theater is so much more hopeful than the internets. I found what Iāve been missingāmovement, beauty, sensuality, joy, and community. Loved it!

The feeling I have leaving my @drpdance class on Saturdays is my very favorite one because not only have I spent time in movement but itās also such a reminder to appreciate my body and what it can do. So itās my favorite part of the week. Easily!
