Dancing with difference - reflections after hip replacement

This article discusses the challenges and impact upon my dancing body after total hip replacement in March 2011, which resulted in a leg length difference. It reflects on the importance of hydrotherapy as part of a recovery programme and the difficulties experienced with finding successional flow with considerably less movement range, having previously been a dynamic, highly physical teacher.
