Don’t tell yourself you’re too old or you’ve been through too much. This was me five years ago.

Walking outside with little Jasmine 1 wk after hip resurfacing surgery.

I was so scared—not only of the surgery (I can barely look at a needle! 😭), but of what it might mean for dancing.

Through yoga, I learned about surrender—not giving up, but letting go of fear & trusting the process.

I’ll always remember the peace that came through me just hours before arriving at the hospital. I was riding in a boat—yes, a boat was our transportation that month!—when that feeling of surrender ā€œhit.ā€

Then, in the hospital waiting room, I was softly singing a mantra when my mother’s voice came through my voice, changing the words to the little ā€œwake upā€ song she used to sing to me. I knew everything was going to be okay..she always told me this throughout life. šŸ’›

Three weeks after this video, I was able to perform the Shimmy Mob EASA dance. (And our Knoxville team will be debuting the 2026 dance soon! šŸ’œ)

So to every adult student who wonders if it’s too late, if your body has been through too much, or if you can still begin again:

Start where you are. Work with the body you have today.
Give yourself grace. Keep moving forward.

Five years later, this feels like another lifetime. We are capable of so much more than we sometimes think. ā¤ļø

KAC LAUNCH WEEK — THAT’S A WRAP! 5 classes with 5 wonderful beginnings with a whole lot of dancing ahead of us. ā¤ļø

This week KAC/Sanddation welcomed our Fall dancers into Belly Dance Flow, Ballet Barre & Stretch, Belly Dance Performance & Choreography, Creative Ballet, and Elementary Ballet/Jazz — from our littlest dancers taking their first steps to adults ready to grow, stretch, laugh & accomplish together. šŸŽ‰

There was beautiful movement, lots of smiles, new friendships beginning, goals being set, choreography taking shape with that special 1st week energy that says, ā€œSomething good is starting here.ā€

This fall will bring 10 weeks of progress and community with our performance dancers already hard at work preparing for the Asian Festival at World’s Fair Park on August 30 at 12:45! ✨

And on a personal note… this begins my 22nd year teaching for the City of Knoxville at KAC & I still get just as excited about watching everyone walk through that door & watching the dance out!!!

Here’s to a fall filled with movement, friendship, confidence, artistry, laughter & a lot of sparkle. ✨

Launch Week 2026 is officially a wrap. Now… let’s DANCE! šŸ’—
