I'm not much of a New Years Resolution person. I believe that if you want to change something you should do so immediately and not wait until the first of the year.
Not to mention, statistics show that most "resolutions" tank in the first 6 weeks after the new year.
So, I am considering a few new resolutions for myself.
In the next year I want to:
Make my spins better. I am habitually BAD at spotting.. so I get dizzy in more than four revolutions.
Work on better layering.. I layer okay now... but after seeing a 12 year old, layer a shimmy, with a turn, with a wave and .......... wow.. IF she can... I can.
Get my head up... I swear this makes my list every year and it comes up a little more every year.. I no longer have memorized who in the audience has on awesome shoes.
Take up more space with my arms.... I tend to keep them low and tight... Why? I have over five feet of space on either side and 3 feet above my head... That's a LOT of room.. I need to explore this.
For the moment those are in the immediate.. I will of course expand and expound on this list throughout the year. As I tend to do.. Since things come up in practice and feedback from performances. (thank you to my awesome feedback team.. I appreciate ALL the critiques.. Even if they are not always sunny... I would rather have the truth than a blanket, good job.)
So, that's where I am.. Where are you?
