These sensations came from the present social and also social context of aging and thus, had a tendency to replicate well established ageist suggestions of the feminine dance body. We currently examined the need to conform with a certain body suitable and also challenged the idea of needing to be much less physical as fully grown professional dancers. We took pleasure in moving with a team of dedicated, hardworking professional dancers with similar age and also capability. We found our dancing selves again in this cultural context without needing to "mask aging" (Schwaiger, 2012, p. 76) by resorting age-appropriate movement vocabulary appropriate for "old professional dancers" (Schwaiger, 2005, p. 112).

Integrating Bourdieu's concept of habitus and also an expository phenomenological evaluation, they found that the modern dancing body became a website of self-creation, self-realization, and also wellness.
