Breathe.
That’s what I did this summer. I stopped and took lots of breaths. I took my family on vacation, read books, finally put things on my walls that have been bare in the last two years, and I spent time just being in the moment. No, I didn’t keep up with social media and I taught only a handful of classes, but I was breathing. After 14 years, I have finally learned that my worth as a person and my identity is not tied to my business. I love teaching, I love my job, and I love my students, but they are a part of me, not the whole of me and that’s ok. ❤️ Sometimes we just need to be reminded to breathe a little bit. As I continually tell my graduating students: you can always come back and find dance again.
Thank you for allowing me the space to breathe, heal, and grow. As we look forward to another great dance season, let’s stay in the moment together and continue to create a positive, warming space that allows us to be our truest self.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
