Goal Setting
Goal setting is an extremely powerful tool. Visualize where you want your dancing to go. What do you want to accomplish and when? If you set realistic goals, you can focus on what it's going to take to get you there and how long it will take. What steps are needed to accomplish your goal? You can break a big goal down into steps, and break the steps into tasks. Work on the tasks now, one by one. Remember to review your goals periodically and evaluate whether or not you're making the progress you want. If you're not, rethink the process and reevaluate the steps to achieve your goal.
The accelerated pace of our time means we have too much to do, too much to think about, too much input in general. To really become a better dancer you need to concentrate energy on your dancing. You must make time to dance, make dance a priority. Concentrate on your dancing and your goals.
You can't win if you are not in the running. As you improve your dancing you improve your chances to win. If you improve your dancing but are never at the contests you might as well have not bothered. Get out. Be seen. Compete. You are not going to win that Jack & Jill sitting home watching Friday night TV.
In
review, it's obvious we all need some help if we want to do well in dance
competitions. We need help from teachers, coaches, practice partners, and
haberdashers/dressmakers. But most of all we are going to have to help
ourselves. We need to focus our energy on dancing and on becoming even
better dancers. That's the real road to winning that dance contest. See
ya out there!
