Super Sunday One


Super Sunday One

Here we are in the thick of holiday preparations and performances. It feels overwhelming sometimes, doesn’t it? Well, here is a thought that might help.

Focus on one goal at a time. Although we live in a society that extols the virtues of multi-tasking, we are actually not efficient at all when we try to do that. Instead, slow down and select one goal. This single goal becomes your focus.

If you are performing soon, focus on enjoying the performance. You’ve done all the preparations, all the rehearsals – right? Now is the time to focus on one thing: enjoy the excitement of the performance.

When all the performing is over and it is back-to-class time, pick one goal to work on: relaxing your pliés, improving your extension, adding another pirouette, etc. Whatever it is, focus on one goal at a time.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Ballet Secret #95:  
“ Focus on one goal at a time.”
