Every so often you meet someone that is 'extra' special. Someone who stands out, not for what they say, but more importantly who they are. I have had the pleasure of knowing one of those special people for seven years now. She owns the dance studio where my youngest has learned not only to dance but to be a confident and strong 10yr old girl.
This weekend we celebrated the 10th anniversary of her studio. Now to some that may not sound like much. If you knew Carla, you would know why this is such a big deal. How many people do you know who have followed their passion and made a successful business out of it well before they have hit 30? All the while being true to who they are.
To the many dancers who have passed through your doors, you continue to inspire them to reach inside themselves; to be strong, to love and respect themselves and their peers. To be more than they thought they could.
For this I thank you! Here is to 10 more years of continued success!

I am a Dancer
I was born into this physical world
Free from judgement,
Free from limitations of the mind.
I was born into this physical world
As an expression of love;
Love for self and love for all.
This love radiates beyond my words
For words are too feeble to express
The awe and the wonder of all that is
And what can possibly be.
My love is expressed through movement,
The orchestral harmony of body & soul.
As a dancer I enter your heart
And greet you like a long lost friend.
I can make you laugh with me,
Make you cry and feel joy with me.
Make you feel alive!
I dance as an example
Of a life fully self expressed.
Ready to take risks,
Ready to give all that I have.
Only happy when I am depleted
For I have lost myself &
With the music become one.
Knowing that I will gain more
When I have given all that I can,
I dance to wake you up, to remind you
The beauty of the unspoken word.
The heart connection that binds us all.
Happy 10th Anniversary, Mellado Dance Elite
