It was during a high-stakes soccer game in the middle of recess on the lower school playground. I was in the fourth grade. The ball came flying at me, and like a drag queen throwing a death drop, I knew exactly what I had to do in order to achieve victory. I kicked my leg sky high, stopping the ball in its tracks. It fell in front of me and I shot it right into the back of the net. Kind ofbut more “Bendy like Beyoncé.
I’d like to think dance came into my life because I displayed prodigy-like skills that warranted the guidance of master teachers, but honestly I think it was because my parents were tired of the tantrums I’d throw when they didn’t score me a 10 for my living room gymnastics routines. Whatever the reason, dance immediately began to cure my craving for attention, and more importantly, became my safe place for self-discovery and self-acceptance.
