Hi friends. Dance has been an influential factor for most of my life. I started dance at the age of 8. My dance lane has taken me on a wonderful journey with many twists and turns, starts and stops, crushing disappointments and proud achievements. With so many years of training, education, and teaching experiences in the dance world, it can sometimes be difficult to not give into the temptation to compare one's own journey with others in the dance world. But, each journey is unique and individual. Several years ago, a friend gave me some magical advise... Stay in your own lane! In other words, don't get bogged down spending energy on worry and stress about what others are doing. Stay focused. Stay passionate. Work smart. Be positive. Stay in your own lane.
So, I thought I would start this blog to share stories, experiences, explorations, ideas, projects, and sometimes, simply Just my thoughts. Hope you enjoy.
Just my thoughts,
Candace
Hi Candace - I'm exploring today to see what you offer - a few steps away - that matches my schedule. And what did I discover?! Your blog! And apparently it is brand new! It's inspiring - and reminds me that I can start simple too with the blogging I have been wanting to do! As for Dance Lab offerings, gentle stretching is what appeals most to me at this point - and I can see I'll have to stop scheduling Thursday night clients if that is to have any hope of working! Thanks for your occasional outreach... I'll visit before long. Holly Myers 💜
Hi Candace, I, too, need to stay in my lane. I get stressed when I see what other musicians are doing and I feel like I'm not keeping up. I need to be gentle with myself and remember that we all are on unique journeys. That is what makes the world more interesting. We all bring something different to the party! Good luck with your blogs- I'm looking forward to your next installment!
