Once Again, It's Time for A Dance Revolution

 The world of dance is approaching the height of an Arts era that has not been experienced since the very fresh arrival of Mikhail Baryshnikov's beauty and brilliance on United States soil. Just reading about the times and the likes of him, Judith Jamison and even others before them; I become inspired all over again.

The same is for the process that should be valued in the art of dance. If the process is neglected the product cannot be impactful. I can remember taking dance class and attending rehearsals at my local dance studio. As an apprentice for Jubilee Dance Company I was introduced to excellence. The value of working at my craft and taking the necessary steps to achieve great performance and artistry were instilled in me. The things I learned during those days carried me through my college training and now into my professional career. I was taught, from experience and observation that there is no shortcut to greatness. Process is sacrificial and often becomes introspective. As a company and as an individual process can look different.

Are you seeking excellence and potency but avoiding the process?
