Working through tough weeks

(Photo by fd's, click here.)

I have just made it through another one of those rough weeks: The kind where you feel like your dancing is going nowhere no matter how hard you work. It is difficult not to get depressed. Actually, I was becoming a little depressed. However, I worked through it, made it to the weekend, got some rest, and starting last Monday everything got better! I think last week I was trying to break through some mental barriers in my dancing. Well, I made it though a few of those barriers and I feel that my dancing is greatly improved.

I am learning that no matter how horrible I might feel during my "off" weeks, I will always come out stronger so long as I keep pushing through.

If it came easy, this wouldn't be worth it.

Auditions

This morning I had my second audition this month. I was thinking about how strange auditions are. We get so nervous! But if we just relax and have fun we always do so much better, and we enjoy the audition.

So from now on I'm going to relax at auditions (or at least try), smile at everyone (especially the directors!), and have fun!

Back to school!

I am moved back to school! My actual classes do not begin until next week, but I am here for the dance classes that have begun. I am exhausted from all the classes I took today (combined with the sore muscles from yesterday), but I am happy to be dancing!
