Teacher

Teaching makes me happy. Anyone who knows me knows this. Doesn’t matter what kind. I love it. I love working with people. I love talking about technique, about the body, and about performing. I love moments like this.

I had just finished talking to these little ones about how to start with a wide power stance, energy through the arms, light shining out of their heart center, confidence beaming out of the eyes. Makes me smile to see students find that.

Because everyone needs to know that their value does not come from a final product. Their worth does not come from a perfectly executed dance. Stand with strength even before you even begin. Then face life with that same power stance, that same energy up and out, that knowledge that you are the main character/boss of your own life. You know this. You got this.
