Episode Details

This episode is all about positivity and how positivity is one of the secrets to becoming a better dancer.

I talk about what you’re feeding your brain when you’re in class because your brain is listening to you. If you keep telling yourself all the things you’re doing wrong, eventually you’re going to believe that. But the same thing can happen when you start pointing out the things you’re doing RIGHT.

Dance is interesting because we’re constantly thinking about everything we want to be better at. What didn’t I get? What do I need to work on? Why can’t I do that yet? So in a way, we’re almost training ourselves to look for everything that’s wrong.

And then we leave dance class and somehow remember the three things we didn’t do instead of the 25 things we DID.

In this episode, I talk about finding the positive facts too. What DID you get? What felt better? What did you remember? What did you do today that you couldn’t do before?

Recognizing these things creates momentum. You feel better about dancing, so you dance more. You get more reps. You keep showing up. And ultimately, that helps you become a better dancer.

We also talk about how positivity spreads. It’s an energy in the room and something that we can give to each other.

You can still want to get better without making everything you’re not good at yet the only thing you see.
