Advice

I was given some of the best advice today. It was to be myself. So, I say to you. Be yourself. And that might sound cliche but it really isnt when you've been working so hard toward one thing for three days straight.
I've been taking a class with the Young Americans. And let me just say, they are AMAZING!
I'm a horrible dancer. I can act and sing but not dance. I've learned over 12 different songs and dances in the last two days. Spending hours working on them. And I want to say that I am proud of myself for doing so much when I truly thought I wouldnt be able to do half of what they were going to teach.
Now, back to the advice. When you are sitting on the floor after one of the most emotional dances you've ever done and you know it is perfect because of its imperfections... The best advice is to be yourself.
Its the Circle of Life from the Lion King. And we do this very raw and emotional dance that is so cool because the steps arent at all specific. You create the moves the way you want them. Because it is the story of your life. And when everyones dancing is so different and yet the same, those are the imperfections that make the dance so perfect and graceful and raw. And almost primal at times.
As humans we all have a different story and we are beautiful and perfect in our own way. We cant change who we are because we are still learning who that is. And we are always learning. We will never stop learning.
