NewFoundGrace's BioWelcome to my little page of happy!I'm an 18-year-old retired ballet dancer. I retired from dancing with a professional company after developing chronic achilles tendonitis, as well as living with very self-destructive tendencies while in the ballet world. Now I'm healing my tendons and resolving my self-destructive issues (which include a long and painful struggle with anorexia) while doing some modern and bellydance. Otherwise, I'm a late-starter who worked herself far past her limits in order to achieve the impossible, and I did. I started ballet when I was 15, and was accepted into the company a year and a half later. In the 2 years during which I danced, I went from level 1 to level 9 (the normal progression is a level per year, only a few students being able to skip even one level). The problem? In order to reach that goal, I've had to basically destroy myself in many different ways, as I've done in other aspects of my life. I've finally made the decision to start living life and stop destroying myself in the name of perfection, because doing so can never, ever bring happiness. Outside of dancing, I'm a vocalist and musical theatre major/German minor. Musical theatre is my existence. Any questions, comments, etc are welcome. I'm also a great person to go to if you just need some positive energy. -NFo'Grizzle (aka Katarina) Friends of NewFoundGrace
