Top 5 Dance Moments of 2024

Is it me or does the sound of this upcoming new year make you think of flying cars and elevators being suspended mid air? We are already knocking on the door of year 2025 but before we sign off let's look at a few top-tier, congratulatory, historic dance moments from this year.  Once you get to the end of my five, feel free to share this article to your social accounts and add your five! No matter what the years bring, dance always leaves me inspired, ignited, reinvigorated and restored. So, here we go! In no particular order, here are my top 5 dance moments of 2024. First up is Robert Battle becoming the resident choreographer for Paul Taylor Company. After over a decade of carrying the legacy of Alvin Ailey as its third Artistic Director, Mr. Battle announced his plans to resign from the position. When I read of the news it was jarring but I figured I had to get over it. Not long after, however, I'd hear of happier news and I couldn't be more delighted for him. Next up i...

Essential Ways To Invest In You

 Complacency will become a norm if you stop investing in YOU. That investment will look different for different people but there are a few I believe can creep in on us all.

Choosing to not play the comparison game is investing in you. Realizing and exploring places that require your attention and working on those things is investing in you. Not being afraid to retrain or taking time to learn properly is also investing in you!

Today I explored each of these scenarios in one setting. My point of this post is to exclaim the beauty of liberation in your pursuit of calling. My Pastor often says "What you don't confront, you'll never conquer". That could not be farthest from the truth. So, when it comes to not comparing myself to others, working on my art and confronting the fact that I had yet another "note" to implement (one that was extremely helpful and resides amongst other fine details that have slipped through the cracks of my training, having not started training in Ballet really until college) I experienced, for the first time in my career, today, total liberation! For years I had imprisoned myself by my own thoughts of defeat and inferiority. I created a deficit in my thought life because when discouraging days, discouraging teachers and less than perfect steps came to shake me, I opted in. I did not understand the importance of investing in me. The only way to understand that concept is to value where you are because of where you are going.

Because I know my Heavenly Father to be a masterful creator of destiny and makes a necessity of proper training grounds, where I have been and where I am areVITAL. As a child of God your path is not random but you HAVE TO make decisions. 

Today I could have chosen to ignore my correction and ignore my need for improvement under the guise of that same comparison or lack of attention (lack of care) but I am beyond excited to say that I chose correctly. Because of that I have been liberated. 

I am free to follow God. I am free to get in THE FLOW

Invest in You.
