I have a confession… 🫣
I don’t know the last time I attended a class. I haven’t been practicing like I should. No stretching, no studying, NOTHING. And it almost cost me my ankle.
I just wanted to get on a step and move…no plan, no routine, just movement. And LORD did I feel how off my game I was.
So I had to be real with myself: “How can you walk into class and tell your students to do something YOU haven’t been doing?!”
Now, it’s not black and white. Body changes, lack of motivation, LIFE. But no excuses… I chose this. I wanted this. They say be careful what you ask for because you just might get it. So will you be ready to receive what you’ve been asking for? Don’t let it pass you by, and don’t forget to nourish it to keep it going.
Instructors…we HAVE to be better. More is expected of us. I’ve been guilty of not practicing what I preach, but not anymore. To make elite steppers, I have to BE an elite stepper. ALL. THE. TIME.
And it’s okay. We’re human, we fall short. But have the awareness to see it, check yourself, and get back to it. I’m not perfect but I’m honest and determined. Hold me accountable, just like I hold y’all. 🤝
Thanks for coming to my TED-less talk 🤗
