Happy Wicked Day

This is what my playbill bio would say if I were Elphaba in @wicked_musical

Ms. Zimmerle is excited to be in this role and knows that it is both an honor and a responsibility to be the first disabled woman in this position. She’s passionate about being an example to others and breaking stereotypes about disability

My Why in Dance

The following blog post is this week’s homework for dance class.  It’s also posted on my dance Experience page , but I’m posting it again. 

At first dance was simply for fun.  Creating the community I needed so badly for many years. I knew immediately after my first Rollettes experience that I needed to stay connected to the community, at this time I had not gotten my first wheelchair yet ( as an older adult. Taking our class in particular has helped me to become comfortable with my body as a wheelchair chair using disabled woman. Dance helps me feel, feminine, strong sexy and powerful.  My goal as a dancer is to continue to become this confident version of myself inside and out.
