Quotes

One of the very first things I say to a new class is that the word CAN'T is not allowed.  If I ever catch a student saying they can't do something, I have them rephrase what they just said.  They usually end up saying 'I'm having difficulty with this.' which is much better than 'I can't do this.'

I saw this quote today & would love to plaster it all over the studio wall.

Success comes in cans; failure in can'ts.

Affirmations

I like when I can find great quotes or affirmations that relate to dance. Here are some that I like.

Football coach Vince Lombardi’s quote, “Inches make champions”.

I like Michael Jordan's quote: “Some people wish it would happen, some hope it will happen, and some make it happen.” I ask my students what they are doing right now to make themselves better dancers.

If you are not planning to succeed, you will fail.

Find your balance.
