My Dance Journey

I love dance. I dance and practice everyday. I dance in the studio, socials, dancehall, and at home. I’ve learned that it’s a journey and a process. I love watching dancers that dance beautifully. I aspire to dance like that. I’ve seen so many dancers step through their footwork alone for hours at the studio. I know that each dancer goes through their own journey and process, lots of time and hard work goes into what they do and some have danced for years. It has been hard at times when I’ve been around so many that compare and compete. I’ve had a hard time understanding why there are dancers that are critical and talking about another dancer’s dance or won’t dance with someone that isn’t at their skill level. Everyone has a different reason for dancing but we all were once a beginner and started with the basics. There is a quote on my studio’s door, “The only dancer you should compare yourself to is the one you used to be.” I believe this is a quote that should apply to all areas of our lives.
