Hello angles, today I will be talking about somethings that we all need to discuss. For most people school has started and for dancers like me, it also means a new dance season. Usually the first week of school can be torture and hectic, but I'm here to help you the best I can. Now I know about crazy schedules, since mine seems to get crazier every season. With taking more classes, not only is it important to keep up with your training and technical ability, but also your school work. Making sure you have enough study and homework time is always key. When I come home I don't have much time to get on my mobile device; its only enough for a quick snack and then time to get down to business.
Some homework takes longer than others, but if your going to be at the studio for more than three hours, it's better to get some work done, versus nothing at all. Now studying can be a little bit harder. Personally I feel that when you study you should spread it out and not just cram it into one session. If you can try and study a week or more before the exam, test, or quiz. Hopefully you won't be dancing EVERYDAY, so you will have time to study. Sure you won't have that much down time for normal things, but that's what some of us singed up for, right? In between all the craziness, it's important to stop and breath because believe me when I say, it can get quite over whelming.
Stay in touch with your goals; if you don't have any, I suggest you make some. You may be wondering what I mean. Well on every school day morning, while getting ready, I listen to Roar by Katy Perry. It makes me feel in charge of my day. Starting the day off right. I also go by lots of quotes. They're great to look back on, to keep you going when things get rough. In all, no matter if you're taking two classes a week or twelve (like me), you always need to stay on top of the ball. In dance, school, and just in life.
Well thats all for now my werkaholics.
Love always, One True Dancer

Hello my cutie pies. Today is the day where I enlighten you all with a quote and this one is by Agnes de Mille. This quote is not only magnificent, but so very true. When you dance, sometimes you take on other characters, most of the time, you are telling a story, and it makes you something else. Something you may or may not be. Yes it is true, we are all beautiful, but sometimes when we dance it's a different type of beauty. It's your elegance and technique that attracts another type of beauty. It makes us larger than life, as it seems. When dancing, some moments we feel as though a strong sense of power has risen in us and it takes over and is displayed when you nail a triple pirouette or land a beautiful grande jatte, for example. It comes with the great pleasures of dance. And as Agnes is saying, it is a glorious and amazing gift that is here on earth. It is yours for the taking, he says. Meaning it's yours, you can take dance and run with it. Take hold of your talent, if you're serious about it, you can go as far as you want. It's all up to you. The sky is the limit my little werkaholics.
Dance is a way of life. It brings people joy, light, freedom, pleasure, so much more. To start this as my first post. I decided to enlighten you with a Mikhail Baryshnikov quote. Take about five seconds to meditate on the quote. What does it mean? How does it relate to you, to dance? Well this quote is honestly brilliant. Lots of people think that it's important to always out dance someone, to look better than the person standing next to you. This quote is stating that it's not about that, it's about dancing better than yourself. In dance it's important to move at your own pace, strive to do better. When you dance, you do it for you, not for anyone else. Well that's what it should be about right? Improving and living, werking it, owning it, and killing every step. Dance better than yourself, not anyone else. I promise it'll help. That's all for now my werkaholics.
