Toni Braxton’s Getting Her Life Back
‘Dance’ star returns to stage as she battles heart disease

With new CD and cooking show on the horizon, the former ‘Dancing With The Stars’ contestant Toni Braxton has proven that she won’t let anything stand in her way – not even her own heart condition. But after a five-month health hiatus, why has the sultry singer chosen to risk so much to prove she can dance? “I’m in a different space in my life right now,” Braxton tells Jet magazine. “This is really kind of jump-starting me to get into life again. Not being afraid to live. I know it sounds real corny, but it’s really true for me.”
