If your father practiced medicine the way you dance, he'd be under a million lawsuits.
That's what Miss Lorraine used to tell Kara as a young dancer in between yelling, Put your heels down! In dance, criticism is considered a compliment, so as a young dancer with short Achilles tendons, tight hamstrings, and knobby knees she fancied herself a star.
Thirty years of leotards and tights later, she had to face some hard truths.
Maybe she wasn't a dancer after all.
After graduating from a top conservatory and embarking on her Martha Graham dreams, Kara reluctantly chose to teach Pilates to pay the bills.
After initially failing her certification thanks to a nasty margarita hangover, she became one of the most sought after Pilates instructors in Manhattan.
She cracked herself up, with what could only be described as Pilates stand-up, poking fun at high maintenance clients and gym culture.
But, after hitting many unexpected speed bumps in her dance career, what started as a nothing day job had become her everything.
And it wasn't funny anymore.
Underneath that peppy six-pack Pilates persona was a sad little girl fighting for her dream.
Putting My Heels Down exposes the harsh realities of life as a dancer but more importantly, the conflict so many of us experience between having a day job and having a dream.
You won't need to know about pli�s to relate.
