Marvelous Monday Shake It Up
Shake things up. Rock your world. Do something out of your
comfort zone. You’ve probably heard all these things. For dancers, there is a
simple way to do this. Stand in a different place. Gasp!
I know. You have your “spot” at the barre. I did too. But by
standing somewhere else, you shake things up just a little bit, and in doing
so, experience the world differently. It will probably feel uncomfortable, and
that’s great. I had a wonderful teacher who used to force us to do this
periodically, and I do the same now with my students.
To shake things up even more, stand in a different place in
the center. If you always hang in the back line, be brave and move forward.
Scary, I know. But by pushing your comfort zone, you grow.
And that’s what it’s all about, right?

We have to be honest about what we want
and take risks rather than lie to ourselves and make excuses to stay in our
comfort zone.”
