Today is World Mental Health Day & let me tell you... This experience did SO much for my mental health. I used to LIVE for dance classes!! Class is where I thrived. This was such an incredible experience for a few reasons: ✨ I got a healthy dose of nostalgia being back at @bdcnyc for the first time in 12 years! ✨ @murrclurr & @apparentlyimpretty were spectacular!!! ✨ You could feel the energy in the room. Energy only aspiring Broadway dancers exude! It's energetic but with a specific respect. Respect for the art, the music, the story, the choreographer, the audition journey to the stage, the teachers. ✨ I wore my first pair of @laducashoes . My kitchen will be seeing them soon. 😜 ✨ I reconnected with something that brings me so much joy. Now I get to bring a little of that joy back home to my family & kids. #worldmentalhealth #chicago #chicagothemusical #bdcnyc #broadway #broadwaydancecenter
