Today I watched a shy, timid girl break through into a bold, enthusiastic dancer. I saw self-confidence radiate from her smile, and energy move through her entire body as she executed the choreo I gave the class. Daniela. She was proud of herself - her dancing and her beauty. Strong work ethic, some intelligence, and the heart to press forward are an unstoppable mix. Daniela stepped it up to the next level today; both personally and on the dance floor.
When a dancers stops dancing to the choreography, and starts dancing through the choreography it's an incredible, definitive, and specific moment. Witnessing that moment is a lot like witnessing a baby take his or her first steps. It's breath-taking, exciting, and happens in the blink of an eye. You can see it coming, weeks or months of building up to it...but when it happens it's somehow a complete (and amazing) surprise.
Daniela - you go girl. You're totally and utterly: a dancer.
Days like today I'm reminded about how significantly rewarding my job is.
