Episode Details

In this episode, I’m talking about slowing down and learning to enjoy the process of dance instead of always trying to get to the next step.

I started thinking about this through sewing and videography. When you’re working on a project, there’s usually a finished product you’re working toward. You make something, you complete it, and you get to enjoy what you’ve created.

Dance is a little different, especially when you’re taking weekly classes. There’s no finish line! There’s always something new to learn, something to work on, and something to discover.

We talk about how easy it is to get caught up in wanting to learn choreography faster, get everything right, or move on to the next thing without actually enjoying what we’re doing.

Dance is a hobby! It’s something we choose to make time for because we enjoy it. So why are we putting so much pressure on ourselves to get it done?

What if we stopped treating dance like another thing on our to do list and started enjoying the fact that there’s no rush?

You don’t have to finish something for the time you spend doing it to be worthwhile.
