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.

How would you describe yourself to someone?

This is how I would describe myself to someone: My name is Marie Nicole Zimmerle. I’m a Singer, dancer and advocate and a sister I’ve attended the same church since I was four years old. My relationship with Christ is the most important thing in my life. When I was in high School I went to Sacramento twice to participate in advocacy opportunities. In addition to all of this I am disabled woman, it’s currently something I’m taking pride in , but it’s not the most interesting thing about me.
