There will be times of craziness and times of total calm – this is good! It provides an opportunity for you develop yourself not just as a dancer but also as a person.

Summer intensive time will be busy. Most summer intensive schedules are packed. Take some of the best things that you learn while you’re there and figure out how to take those lessons with you into the quieter, less active weeks.

Take notes. Make a schedule for your time off. Seek out new opportunities for movement. Set up new routines as quickly as possible. Look ahead and anticipate what’s going to shift in your schedule, food, and dancing.

In addition to all the planning, remember to allow yourself to have some days with no schedule.
