As I get older, my body no longer moves in the way it once did. What remains, however, is not loss but echo. Not technique or speed, but timing, anticipation, and the way movement listens before it acts.

Across a dancing life, movement doesn’t disappear, it accumulates. It leaves traces shaped by experience, relationship, and time. In this reflection I explore echoes across my own dancing life, and how they became visible through dancing with Jodie Fry as part of the Dance with Me project. What emerges is a view of ageing not as decline, but as transformation, movement changing form, not meaning.
