Ann Marie

Why would a 56 year-old sales manager take an exotic dancing class?

"It was an opportunity to step outside of my box, outside of my comfort zone. I wanted to try something that I had never done before. I met some great people and had a great experience. This was an opportunity to learn how to feel more comfortable with myself and how to express myself through the dance, which was very freeing." Through the making of the video, Ann Marie was going through chemotherapy and radiation therapy for a bout with breast cancer. Looking forward to the classes and her bond with other women brought her though this tough time in her life. "Dancing, laughing and feeling good about ourselves is the best medicine."
