”I never regret a dance class.” “You don’t need to be good at dance to enjoy it.” “It’s normal for someone to be better at dance than you, but it’s important if you try.” These are just some of the inspiring things ballet dancer Ariane Beeston told us.
Ariane has inspired us to never give up dancing. Dance is a fantastic way to meet new people and make lots of new friends.
As well as being a Ballet dancer, Ariane is a mental health professional. “Dancing helps with anxiety and physical health,” she explained.
“Dance is an exercise that engages and works every muscle in your body. After a day where you’ve felt down, it’s very enjoyable to come to the studio and do a beautiful port de bras.”
We also asked Ariane what her favourite style of dance was. “My heart belongs to ballet, although I like to do contemporary dance as well,” she replied.
She also said that she’s not a very good hip hop dancer and she has acres of praise for anyone who can do hip hop. “A great way to try something new is to try a new style of dance,” Ariane added.
Ariane also stated that “dance is an imaginative way to unleash your creativity and give you a way to express yourself through artistry and flowing movements.”
Everyone loves dancing whether it be dancing on stage in front of a crowd or busting a move when no one is around. It’s really important to not be restricted when dancing. “You don’t all have to be little ballet robots,” said Ariane.
Ariane has inspired us to keep trying and to never give up. Her words have moved us. We know that dancing is a fun, creative and enjoyable activity so everyone should try dancing! She also taught us that it is not just a fun thing to do, but also really good for your mental and physical health. So try dancing today not for us, for yourself.
