As somebody
who is in a wheelchair all the time and can’t walk, I still want just to dance.
I have
always loved music and dancing from a young age.
I feel when
I listen to music it lifts me up and I go in to my own wee world.
Just
keep dancing
I love to
dance when I am just in my bedroom listening to music or when I am at a
concert.
I never
imagine that I would be able to perform a dance routine.
A new
opportunity for me
When I got
the email first asking me if I wanted to take part in a inclusive dance
competition at first, I thought it wasn’t me.
Then I
thought life is too short so why not?
I was paired with two great dancing partners
Leah and Chloe who is fantastic.
We had 8 weeks of training which it was so fun!
We came up
with a great dance routine and we chose our music which it was 2 Nathan Carter
songs and 1 Dolly Parton song.
During the 8
weeks of training, I loved it. I couldn’t wait for every Wednesday night to do
my dance training.
I found it
hard at first to learn all of the moves but as the weeks went on, I found it
easier and enjoyed it more.
On the
night
The dance
competition called “Strictly All Ability” was on the 26th of April
in a fancy hotel in Glasgow.
When I got to the hotel that afternoon, I got
my hair and make-up done, I liked this because it was like being on Strictly
Come Dancing.
After I got
hair and make-up done myself, Leah and Chloe did a run through of our dance in
the ball room.
Once I saw
the size of the ball room, I started to get nervous but once We started to
dance that went away.
When it came
to the main perform on the night it was a great feeling to perform in front of
people especially my family and friends.
After it I
felt very proud of myself and even although we didn’t win, I am so glad that I
took part and had a great experience.
After the
night I was a bit down because I miss dancing every week but looking in to
future, I really hope I can dance once again and keep dancing.
Brilliant Jill ❤️
