Discovering your own version of "Fly Girl Energy" might be exactly what your soul needs. After being invited to try Fly Dance Fitness classes by my sister-in-law, I found myself reconnecting with a part of me that had been dormant for years – my love for hip-hop dance that I'd often felt self-conscious about embracing fully as a teenager.
These dance classes have become much more than exercise. They've created a space where I can let my "inner gangster" out to play, where mistakes aren't actually mistakes because choreography is just someone's made-up idea of what looks right. There's a magical moment in each class when my conscious mind steps aside and pure joy takes over. My body knows the movements so well that I can simply experience the euphoria of being completely present, moving in synchronicity with others, and celebrating life through motion.
Understanding the power of mindset, I intentionally created an entirely new dance wardrobe – loose cargo pants instead of strict leggings, hair down instead of in a tight ponytail, and custom rhinestoned hot pink high-tops that I'm having everyone in class sign. These choices aren't just aesthetic; they're psychological anchors that help me embody a different version of myself when I walk into that dance studio. The most inspiring part? The 69 and 70-year-old women who've been dancing together for 18 years, not to look cute or show off perfect moves, but because they know dance keeps their brains sharp and helps them keep up with their great-grandchildren.
Whether dance speaks to you or not, find something that celebrates movement in a way that brings you joy – CrossFit, running, yoga, or whatever makes you feel alive. When you find what moves you and the right community to move with, you'll discover your own version of fly girl energy. I promise things will get better when you do.
