#HappyInternationalDanceDay!

I can’t quite remember what I was describing here, but it was during my master class at SDSU with @sdsudivisionofdance in March so I know (anytime I’m clutching my heart) I was talking about dance emotion or storytelling.

These photos by @donnie_nicholson_photography capture me dancing, teaching dance and choreography…Something I’ve wanted to do since I was a kid choreographing to Toni Basil’s “Hey Mickey” on a .45 record in my parents house in New York. I asked my mom to watch the dances I created and she always did. Always.

On this #happyinternationaldanceday I was able to mc for my dancers at ArtWalk, share a favorite piece of choreo with the public and support my dancers during their performance. I have worked extremely hard to get to where I am and not a day goes by where I take it lightly. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about how fortunate I am for being able to dance, share my gift (Yes. I own that) and teach. These photos capture all of this and I am so thankful ✨

Wake up!

Wake up with an urge and a fire to do whatever it is that drives you. Take the time to figure it out-what motivates you? What can’t you stop thinking about? What pulls your attention when you’re focusing on the thing that kinda holds your interest? What are you always talking about, daydreaming about, journaling about? 

Stop blaming the choices that you’ve made and saying that’s the reason you are where you are. We ALL have those. So what? 

Some of us decide to quit bitching and start doing. And you can start at any moment. Whatever the fuck you want, you can have. But you have to want it. And you have to eat, sleep, breathe it. No excuses. 

Think about it.

Create Your Own Day

  

“Are you tired?”…NO!

For years when I’ve trained people (and I’ve even noticed this in normal everyday interactions), I’ll greet someone and ask how they are doing and their response is “Tired”.

One of the fastest ways to feel tired is to say you’re tired. So stop it!

If you are feeling low energy: Do some things to bring you back into energy!

My faves:

• Exercise! Even if it’s a minute of jumping jacks…get your blood pumping.
• Drink some water. Ice cold. Shock yourself back into the present.
• Take a power nap. 15-30 minutes tops. Don’t over do it or you’ll feel even more groggy afterwards. Unless you’ve been sleep deprived-then try to catch up. More importantly, try to get the same amount of full sleep every night.
• Meditate for 5-10 minutes. You don’t even need to close your eyes. Just sit still and comfortably. Breathe deeply and find peace.
• Pranayama-yoga breathing. Full, deep breaths for approx. 5 seconds in and 5 seconds out. Maximum capacity of the lungs, slowly.
• Step outside-stand in the sun! Vitamin D. Be like a lizard and let the sun do its thang! ☀️
• A cup of hot green tea. REAL green tea. No sugar. Honey if you need some sweetness.
• Play with your pet. Nothing beats feeling tired like a walk with your pup or a game of catch.
• Laugh. Watch a comedy special, a comedy podcast, go to your friend or coworker who is great at jokes (there’s always one!) and get a good laugh in.
• Duh! DANCE PARTY! Put on your fave song and rock out (stay safe if you’re driving 😬😂) or go full out at home or in your office. If someone sees you, say “You’re welcome! Next time, I charge you! 😂”.

Try a few or all of them next time you find you’re struggling with your day!
