My name is Alana Nicolette Hurley...and this is my story of how I lost and found the dance.
"It was never my dream to ever be judged for my dance again. Everyone believed that it should have come natural to me. And I guess it does. I'd rather dance in my mirror than dance for others. The best night of my life was when I performed lead in the Conservatory's version of Cats. I was heralded with offers, and presented roses. At sixteen, I was a prima. And then I walked away. Today, I dance for myself, for my own personal enjoyment. Oh yeah, I teach those with a passion to see their dream. Mine died, when daddy died. Several years ago, I danced for them-Nick and Alex, my parents. I left it all out there on the stage as I always did, not knowing it would be for the last time."

What started out as a night on the town all by herself turned into an event she never could have planned!
"...My hair cut is short, sassy, and fierce just like me. I have a fresh pedi and mani, all cause I'm going out for a night on the town. Sure am. I bought myself a $115 ticket to see 'Dreamgirls Live' at the fabulous Fox Theatre...I'm worth it. In a dazzling red dress, some kick *ss stiletto sandals, and showing all the *ssholes just what they won't be getting. Dinner before, then cocktails at intermission, I'm going all out tonight because...I have a date with myself."
...and then, what did my wondering eyes see appear...
"I should have counted up the costs but instead I got lost in the seconds in the minutes in the hours...as we lay"

Tiny, muffled footsteps bounded towards me. Faith stood no taller than three feet which I personally thought was petite for a four-year-old. Most of her cashew nut colored skin was covered by the oversized t-shirt she had draped over her shoulders. I giggled at the disheveled state that her dark brown hair was in. The curls hung loosely and frizzy all around her head; her curls extended at least a foot from her head. I briefly was reminded of Huey Freeman from The Boondocks. Some of her features matched mine exactly and some clearly didn’t. One feature was her big, smoky, blue-green eyes that stared up at me with innocence. They seemed to be framed with a few splashes of freckles. She would probably never know how much her eyes haunted me at times.
