TRUST THE PROCESS

Today I set the goal to be relaxed during class, so of course throughout the day I began to feel overwhelmed with anxiety. I took some time to meditate listening to some of the “Captured” album by Kimberly and Alberto Rivera. The calm peaceful tones helped to calm my spirit. I arrived at the studio and was so excited to meet Valeria, one of Antonio’s amazing students from Argentina.  Before today I had only seen her exciting pictures from the Buenos Aires Competition last year triumphantly holding up a silver trophy. We got to talk for a few minutes before my class and I felt as if I had an instant friend.

Finally Antonio came out and I was surprised at how relaxed I was and we breezed through the rhythm dances. When we got to the smooth dances I felt tonight was the best Foxtrot I have ever done, I went almost effortlessly through the zigzag and promenade movements. I consider Tango a Victory simply because I stayed on the right side. For the Waltz I gave my entire heart to the dance as the song was the theme to “Passion of the Christ”. The energy and meaning of the song connected with my soul and the movements came from my heart.

Today as we have on many occasions we had a deep discussion about faith and Antonio applied it to dancing and how I need to have faith I myself, and believe that he will do what he needs to do to support me as a dancer. I need to stop anticipating what he will do next and moving ahead of him and embrace staying in the moment. I know this comes from wanting to do everything perfectly and being afraid of making a mistake. I know through time I am learning what it means to trust myself, trust the process, and truly release into being led.
