Lightweight, fitted, cotton t-shirts designed for the dancer in you! Surprise: no idea I was THIS uncomfortable in my own space - and skin! Yes!
Dance Carefree is a design project initiated by my love for dancing coupled with a vision to splash t-shirts with inspiring, expressive, colorful and playful messages. As someone in early stages of development as a dancer and the quintessential work-in-progress, I find progression to be as mentally challenging as it is technically intensive and physically demanding. To take on a discipline requir
ing such precision, balance, control, coordination, finesse, panache AND artistry given THAT level of discomfort was overwhelming! One night, I'm having a train wreck of a night on the dance floor, feeling bewildered, embarrassed and completely exposed -- dignity and grace gone! The only thing left was my self-deprecating humor which made leads laugh at my accumulating missteps – subtly cueing that I’m no topnotch follower –yet– and not to expect such abilities –right now– but I’m lighthearted and cheerful –always– all the while camouflaging my exasperation and maintaining my composure. The concept was shaped right there on the dance floor. Wait … isn’t this supposed to be fun? Dancing is extremely enjoyable and I have always thought to express what it means to me. To acknowledge the art form that engages me, challenges as much as it frustrates, while pushing the boundaries of my creativity and personal expression. I could blog about it or write a memoir, I often dish with friends, but these t-shirts are a simple, unique way to chronicle the highs and lows and anguish and delight of my journey. And ultimately…spread messages to people inspired to dance carefree! Introducing Dance Carefree: The Collection! 6 soft, chic, lightweight, cotton, ladies’ fitted crew neck tees embellished with tiny quips -- reflections of the ambition, education, excitement and advancement of a “salsera-in-training.”
