10 Days of Dance💛 Day 9 ~ @julia._katharina “Showing up every day as your authentic self is one of the most powerful ways to live freely. It is one of the few things we CAN control. On days I feel low the one task I give myself is: stay real and authentic with yourself. Authenticity is power. Staying true to yourself will attract the right people and experiences into your life. Trust yourself. You are enough!” - Julia Katharina

10 Days of Dance💛 Day 5 ~ @thecourtneyhope “Dance isn’t so much something that you do but a way of life and a state of being. A reflection of your emotional state and an unaltered expression of your soul. An assessment of the physical space encapsulated within your flesh and how freely it is willing and able to shift and transform. The emptiness that’s filled with new breathe and the release of stagnant energy built up within your vessel. Dance is my home. My healing. My first true love. And with its movement, I am constantly born again and set free.” - Courtney Hope

10 Days of Dance💛 Day 4 ~ @zoelionas “If we seek the real source of dance, if we go to nature, we find the dance of the future is the dance of the past, the dance of eternity, and has been and always will be the same... The movement of waves, of winds, of the earth is ever the same lasting harmony.” - Isadora Duncan

10 Days of Dance💛 Day 2 ~ @kathrynrmccormick “To move from within. To experience embodiment. To connect to self so deeply that connection with others is inevitable. To allow the body space to interpret what the spirit needs to not get stuck. All things I desire. Things I am working toward/becoming toward. All things I already have, we all do. Time is teaching me, slowly, to see the full potential of a present perspective." - Kathryn McCormick

Thank you Kathryn for sharing with us!

10 Days of Dance💛 Day 1 ~
“Such a funny moment but a moment I took. Dance in its many forms has taught me to utilize space in all it’s elements including utilizing a garment and how it feels at any given moment and how my body reacts to the feeling I let go to. I can’t predict that moment, that feeling, what it looks like. I love that. I love being in the moment. It’s unexpected and wonderful. It’s not meant to be perfect, it’s meant to be real.” Debra Hopkins, #BTCF President/Founder

BTCF: You have shared in the past you have struggled from an eating disorder. How are you doing now and what are some positive steps you’ve taken in your own recovery?

JULIA: To be very honest, the past year has been challenging for me as well. I have learned how important it is to know your triggers and take preventative actions. For the last year I focused on my mental and physical well being. I am really happy and proud of the work I have done last year. After the first lockdown I started struggling with old behaviors more than at any point in the past 8 years. The difference nowadays is, that I can see when I need to take action in favor of my health. It is important to build yourself a stable support system. Mine has been my closest friends and a Therapist. I went back to Therapy after many years and it is a wonderful thing. I worked with myself and focused on building my self love. I devoted all of my free time in respecting myself, working through my shadows and reflecting on my thought patterns. I write a lot. I write down my false beliefs and negative thoughts and flip them around, phrase them in a positive way. I listen to positive Affirmations before I go to sleep. I have a gratitude journal. For me a wonderful art of therapy is Spirituality. Spiritual Practice brought me to where I am now. At this point, I am grateful for the lessons I was able to learn over the past year and feel stronger then ever before.
