I love the show "So You Think You Can Dance" (SYTYCD). I posted another blog from the last season where two of the dancers did a piece choreographed by Mia Michaels about addiction. It was very powerful.
This piece is about fear and overcoming it... Very visual depiction of how fear attacks us and attaches itself to us in our every day life... It was choreographed by Stacy Tookey, another of my favorite choreographers, and performed by Kathryn & Legacy.
In recovery they teach you that real change doesn't occur until the pain outweighs the fear... meaning, that until it hurts bad enough, most of us will stay stuck in what seems familiar to us because we are too afraid of doing something different. This piece was very moving to me because I've spent the last 9 months overcoming my fears... and it's working! I've been able to face things I've held onto for the last 2 or 3 decades. Amazing how when you finally embrace the truth and own your choices, you get better at an eerily fast pace!
Enjoy this. I sure did. And as you watch it, try and picture yourself facing and overcoming the things that most hold you back, the things and people you are most afraid of... I love how at the end she pushes her fear completely down. The song is "2 Steps Away" by Patti LaBelle.
