The art of being PRESENT

BLOG TIME!

Thank you for taking the time to check out my dance blog and I hope you enjoyed the 6 day Prodigy Program dance recap video. To speak a little bit about this process and experience all I have to say is I CAN FEEL THE GROWTH -- and it feels good!

This is my third Jerry Curl's Beginner's Prodigy Program. Initially I wanted to challenge myself or felt to be ready to learn with the intermediate group, BUT NO -- Jerry placed me in the Beginner. He knew what he was doing and in the end I was very happy he did. The learning process and the way my brain connects choreography remains somewhat at the beginner level. I was happy to be with women I had danced with before and happy to connect with my prodigy sisters.

This program was nothing like the last prodigy program. If you read my previous post "All About Perspective", in that program I had A LOT going on. After completing this program, I can honestly look back and reflect that the stressors played a big part in my growth during that Prodigy Program. Not being in my Master's Program allowed me to be PRESENT in every single class during this Prodigy Program.

To recap and self-reflect -- I say build a community of supporters, and stick with them. The women in this prodigy program showed out every single time. We supported each other and learned from each other. Dance therapy is more than just a term, it is an avenue to finding peace and love within yourself. I was mindful, I was present, I took control over the one thing I can control and that is my body and mind. #feelingmyself
