IN PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE

All I was thinking today throughout the day was that I wanted to dance. When got to the ballroom today Masha was finishing up a class and I was able to have the large ballroom all to myself- before my competition is over this the ballroom will know my sweat! Of course today this helped along by the fact that it feels like the 1012 degrees in the studio. No one is here so I can truly relax and take risks. After practicing my Rumba walks with napkins on the floor I decide this will be a Rhythm day and I focus on utilizing the entire space.  I position myself beneath the mirror ball in the middle of the floor and start with Rumba occasionally closing my eyes and following the Rhythm of my breath.    I move on to cha-cha and practice the shadow turn and making my presence known on the dance floor. During Salsa I focus on just the basic step and basic turn. Finally I take some time and go through my showcase routine for the East Coast Swing. I close out this practice session feeling accomplished.
