My name is Emily.I had been a dancer for quite a long time.I started studying ballet when I was six years old.By the time I was nine, I was dancing five days a week.When I was eighteen, I decided that I really preferred contemporary dance and that I wanted to do it professionally.So I applied successfully for the training program at the school of Toronto Dance Theatre, and moved to Toronto to attend the program.That was the period of time I enjoyed most in Toronto.I graduated on scholarship and danced professionally for ten years.But after all, those years, I found that dance was gradually becoming something that felt like more of a burden than a joy.I found myself increasingly unwilling to drag myself to dance performances, so I quit.I do miss dance, often.But it makes me happy think that I'll never have to go to another training session again.
