Hi Everyone,

Today I discuss taking a pause on the podcast and why I am being called to do so.

I at the same time want to say this is not a goodbye, just a break, so that I can focus on other things pulling at my heart right now.

The reason I wanted to share all this is because I know I am not alone in this.

When we work passionate careers, even the things that light us up the most and fill us up the most can also burn us out. In recognizing this, we can take space to help us reclaim our spark.

With a different schedule this year, I am launching myself into teaching more and I look forward to sharing about my class learnings and different lessons & ideas that I work through in the year when I am able here.

I am excited to be full dance teacher mode again!

In today's episode, I talk about the importance of the dancer's voice.

The dancer's voice is one that will become their signature when they take a step out into the world. This could be a step onto another stage, or into another role, but the inner voice they develop within your studio walls is going to be with them as they continue on.

This episode talks about the importance of dancing because it feels a certain way versus dancing because it looks a certain way and the conundrum that brings up being a visual performing art.

As dancers, we want what we are doing to look good for the audience, but we can't give up the importance of also, how it feels for us!

I share some exercises I have been workshopping to help dancers to be in their authentic energy on a given day and to help release some of the limiting beliefs around what is holding them back within their dancing.

How do you get your dancers to tap into their inner voices?

In today's episode, I detail what my biggest tips are for heading back to dance in regards to mental, emotional, and soulful preparation.

From a meditation for clarity, to thoughtful exercises, and pre-dance inspiration ideas, it is my hope that this episode will leave you feeling filled up and ready to begin a new season with the clearest mindset.

There are so many variables outside of our control, but there are a lot of variables within our control, and to me that means--prepare!!

I am so looking forward to hearing about the ways in which you prepare as well for a new season!
