Advice for a young person: DO NOT MAKE LIFE DECISIONS BASED ON YOUR BOYFRIEND OR GIRLFRIEND. Do not stay close to home for him, do not skip opportunities for him, do not pick a university that’s close for him. He is not the world! Grow urself, expand your horizons.

Most don’t want to put in the extra work that makes the difference. Be the exception.

My girls like to say that all the rhinestones in the world aren’t going to blind the judges from your crappy technique.

You want to stand out? Be competitive? Don't forget about ballet. Work hard in ballet. It matters. Immensely.

If you are instilling fear in a student, you are not teaching courage. And if you are not teaching courage, you are not opening the door for another human being to find the infinite possibilities that await ahead.

If you are wanting a future as a professional in dance, you should question your place in any business model that makes winning at all costs an operating philosophy.

Careers don’t magically happen. People invest in you, teach you & believe in you. You can work hard but ultimately someone opens the door for you. Honor that always.

Developing a dancer takes years. Teaching someone to do tricks on stage takes weeks.

Maybe it's time we judge our efforts in dance training by how successful we are at preparing students for the careers they are seeking.
