19.01.2022 Can I dance if...my body isn't in perfect shape? For as long as dancing has been around, there has been injuries; but sometimes it might be an injury which is a bit more than a stubbed toe or kicked shin. Talk to any seasoned dancer and they'll show you their worn out shoulders, their reconstructed knees, their slipped discs and their sprained ankles.Yet they keep dancing. But they're seasoned dancers; you can expect injuries, right? Well... like any sport we don't aim for in...jury, but sometimes it happens. What if the injuries pre-date your dancing? Can you still start dancing? Of course! Introducing 2 of the finest Lindy hoppers in the height of the swing era. both had pre-existing childhood injuries and both were fantastic. First: Jimmy Valentine. Jimmy lost his leg in a rail car accident when he was a young boy. he thrived on the dance floor with his crouch- but even then, once the momentum and rhythm got to him, he'd fling the crouch away and kept going. Follows praised his wonderful dancing. Dancers like Irene Thomas said; You could close your eyes and you couldn't tell he had one leg, he was a dream to dance with strong, firm and what a looker Find out more about Jimmy Valentine Here http://jassdancer.blogspot.com/2009/08/jimmy-valentine.html We'll cover The story of our own Brisbanite dancer in part 2 next week. Until then, Happy dancing!
