You are so right, Sarah! It’s important for all of us whether we’re dancing professionally or not. And, something I try to convey to the dancers we encounter at The Whole Dancer so that they can enjoy the awesome times that they’ll still be on the stage. Thanks for the comment!

Relish the imperfections, they are what give you the ability to grow and learn things about yourself that you didn’t know before.” Really a lesson for us all no matter what we do. If you do not enjoy yourself while still able to dance professionally, what is the “pointe”?!!
