55. Shorty Got Low
Manage episode 501198307 series 3470570
Dance has always been a part of my life, and as I got closer to turning 50, I had my eye on something new and exciting: auditioning for the Minnesota Timberwolves Senior Dance Team. I’d been counting down the years until I hit the minimum age, inspired by a theater friend who was having the time of her life performing with this NBA crew.
When audition day finally rolled around, I walked into a room packed with nearly 100 dancers—twice as many as the year before. Old doubts could have easily crept in: Am I good enough? Do I look the part? But instead of going down that road, I made a choice. I told myself, You’re here to have fun. Think of it as a free dance class, and soak up the inspiration from everyone brave enough to be here today.
