I can use zoom so that I can join in with the class
I can see everyone else when I sit in front of my screen but I can’t see them when I am dancing
I can dance on my own, but it sometimes feels incomplete
I enjoy the dancing, and the opportunity to forget my physical frustrations
I have opened up a tiny window into me that I didn’t know was there
I am happy to be “I” but I’d prefer to be “we”

We didn’t know each other, but you came to my house
We danced together in my garden
We trusted each other
We shared the experience
You do this often, with others, but for me it was a first
