LEVEL20: Your Show Info Pack...

A gentle reminder that progress looks different on every one and in every space.  We celebrate each individual dancer's journey to help them forge their own unique path to progression 

A short insight into how we can shape future humans in the dance studio, not just professional dancers 

Confidence is a feeling, not a fact. It’s built through practice, courage, and showing up anywayWe’ve been talking a lot about confidence this week in the studio. Both in the sense of building kids up to be able to perform and also in educating parents on letting them try and not writing them off as not confident enough or too shy. As adults it’s so easy for us to flippantly say “oh I’m not confident enough to do that” as if we have a set confidence score and it’s not high enough to partake in said activity. And that other adults are automatically pre disposed to being able to do these things better than us because of their in-built confidence. But this isn’t the case. I challenge my staff team all the time and really focus on asking them to get out of their comfort zones. Last week for example no one felt confident enough to run a class full of parents. But I said that’s what was happening and I armed them with knowledge, facts and encouragement. By the end of the week every single teacher had smashed it and actually enjoyed it. Had I said “do it if you feel confident enough”, no one would have stepped up. The fact is that sometimes we need told to try, with option taken away from us, for us to really reach and see our full potential 🫶🏼So. If you’re thinking about doing something- signing up for an event, completing a challenge, running a race, taking a new class… remove the choice from yourself. Remove the ‘waiting to feel confident’ barrier and simply book it. Take that first step towards feeling and being more confident- then back it up with little, consistent steps.
