Grounding Point Dance Company, Artistic Director discusses keeping a practice

Friday, October 31st, 2008

I feel it is important to not only set goals for myself, but hold steady to the art of practicing.  As a dancer repetition is an important of the learning process for training the body. As an artist, I feel for me I have to keep my mind focused on the work I am creating both in and out of the studio.  

For me, I have to find a way to make my life as a artist, dancer, teacher, wife, friend, and animal lover come into balance.  Every day I have to remind myself to  train my body, keeping an open mind, and set small goals that enable me to push beyond my comfort zone.  

How I achieve those goals is through my daily practice of being a human who strives to serve a higher purpose, training my body and mind, and finding time to decompress in order to reflect.  

Some days are definitely better than others; however, my intention is set at the beginning of each day and this gives me peace about knowing I am doing the right thing at the right time.
