Footsies

The amount of nice sunny days since we moved here can be counted on one hand. It’s raining today again. There’s not much to do on days like this. Even if I put my rain boots on, it’s still not super fun to explore the area with the rain blowing in my face from all directions. I do love the sound of rain and the wind though. In this apartment you can really hear it. It’s powerful. 
Since we moved here, I have not been feeling like working out or do yoga. At all. And I didn’t feel like it for maybe a week or so before we moved either. No desire to get my body moving. And I’ve been eating so much of my Swedish treats from Ikea that I now crave sugar like all day long every day. My body is not happy with me right now. Muscles ache and my insides feel like crap. It’s so interesting how the body works. Staying away from training for a few weeks and everything is upside down.
This morning I woke up and wanted to go for a run (yes, me, who hates running). It was before I saw how much it rained outside. And I actually feel like taking a modern dance class, which I haven’t done in over a year. Flying across the room, feeling the floor under my feet and do big movements with small details♥ I haven’t found any dance schools around here that has any modern classes though. Plus, my body is not strong enough right now, I would be too scared to get injured just by walking in to the dance studio. But, I have a yoga/pilates/dance room at home now (that is still not finished yet though) where I can work on my body and we have a gym in our building that I have to check out:)

A little “footsie” dance I made right before we moved using the sound of the floor as my inspiration:

A Dance for Grandma

This is an improvisation that I did on the open field by my grandmas house the day before her funeral in August. I chose this song because that’s what I listened to on repeat the first time I heard that she was in the hospital and might not make it. It was 2012 and I had to create a dance thing in my choreography course that I took then. I made a dance based on her lungs and heartbeat together with this song. 

The new owners of her house moved in this week and it feels weird to think that I will never visit it again. I miss her a lot.
