W: My name is Emily. I had been a dancer for quite a long time. I started studying ballet when I was 6 years old. By the time I was 9, I was dancing five days a week. When I was 18, I decided that I really preferred modern dance and that I wanted to do it professionally.
So I applied successfully for the training program at the School of Toronto Dance Theater, 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 to think that I'll never have to go to another training class again.
