My name is Emily.

I had been a dancer for quite a long time.

I started studying ballet when I was six years old.

When I was eighteen, I decided that I really preferred contemporary dance and that I wanted to do it professionally.

So I applied successfully for the training program at the school of Toronto Dance Theatre, and moved to Toronto to attend the program.

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.

But it makes me happy think that I’ll never have to go to another training session again.
