Me and Thor yesterday. He was feeling better and the weather was
wonderful. We found a spot in the sun to hang out. Quiet and peaceful♥

Teaching my workshop today. I’m nervous of course, but also calm at the same time. I’ve never taught a movement class, I just made it it up when I suggested it to the owner of the studio. But I have taught many many dance classes in my life of all levels and of all ages, so I’m sure it will work out. It has definitely been forever since I taught a dance class and my memory has faded, but it’s still in there somewhere:)

I created a class right after I sent her my description and got my date for the workshop. It’s been two months and for someone like me who like things to be perfect, it could have turned into me changing the material a thousand times, but I told myself that I was just gonna stick to the original ideas. Leave it alone, just glance at it but not judge it. Of course I have had a billion thoughts that I have to change it cause maybe they won’t like it, maybe it’s too hard, too easy, too much dance related, not enough dance, too slow, too fast, yada yada yada. I don’t know who these people are, and it says no previous experience necessary, so it can really be anyone and I have to count that in. But in the end of the day, it’s my class, I had an idea and I’m gonna stick to it. I have to trust myself. I don’t know their goals for the class, I only know mine which is that I want them to leave the class with a smile on their faces.

I’m excited! Anything can happen. It can turn out to be super awesome, then…yay! Or it can be a complete disaster. But whatever happens, it’s part of life. If we succeed, we boost our confidence. If we fail, we get up again. That’s it. We should just enjoy the journey of life and learn as much as we can along the way:)
