How do you know if you’re “ready”? It’s less than two weeks until I’m on a plane to New Orleans, and this question has been dancing around my brain. Sounds strange, right? Millennium will be my fourth competition of the year, and I’m wondering how you know if you’re ready.

Interview on “Out of the Comfort Zone”
Hi dancers!
If you saw my last post, you know I was honored to be interviewed on the talk show, Out of the Comfort Zone, on ThinkTech Hawaii. It aired live on June 5, 2018 at 4pm PST, and the replay has just come available. Enjoy!
Countdown to Millennium: 17 Days – Do It Scared
Before I forget, I’m going to be speaking on a live local talk show based in Hawaii tomorrow, June 5, at 4pm PST / 7pm EST. The show will be recorded and posted on YouTube, etc. and you can bet your dance shoes, I’ll share it. But it would be sooo cool if as many of my followers as possible tuned in live! You can watch online at thinktechhawaii.com. I hope you can make it!
Ok, on to the blog post…
It’s just about two and a half weeks until my next competition.
What??
2018 will definitely go down as a crazy year, simply for how many competitions I’ve been able to enter (not to mention the publication of the Solo Practice Guide!). Then there was the addition of a new style…wow!
Slight Panic, a New Partner and an Offer for You
Confession time: I panic a little when Teacher starts coaching me at the next level, as opposed to the level where I’m currently hanging.
What I mean by that is if I was in my senior year of high school, he’s acting like I’m already in college.
Why is the World So Loud??
This past week did not go as planned. Teacher was competing at Blackpool, so I didn’t have any dance lessons, but I was planning on practicing two extra nights in their place on top of being super productive with my task list for the Solo Practice Guide and blog. Then last Saturday, I woke up with a migraine and it didn’t really go away until this past Friday evening. So much for productive.
What does your dancing need now?
Hello lovely dancers! Just a quick question for you today. I’ve been fighting a migraine all weekend, so I’m trying to minimize my time in front of the computer screen.
At my last dance lesson, Teacher and I were discussing feedback we got from another coach regarding my performance at Emerald Ball. The feedback was really positive; she noted a lot of improvements (yay!). But one thing that stood out to her was my vertical position wasn’t completely vertical. I looked like I was leaning back while I was dancing. She also noted that I wasn’t finishing my arms in their styling.
Dream a Little Dream of Me
If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll understand the title. I went searching for inspiration for this blog post in a glass of red wine and the Rat Pack station on Pandora. My pondering during “Dream a Little Dream of Me” was recorded for posterity.
A Review of Emerald Ball 2018 – So Good It Took My Breath Away
I have to say I’m not looking forward to the day coming soon when my tax refund will run out. I’ve done three competitions in as many months and it has been AMAZING. I don’t want it to end.
Countdown to Emerald Ball: 3 Days – A Brief Break
Happy Sunday dancers! I’m taking an uncommon break right now to chill on the couch to watch some TV and check in with you. I can’t chill too long because I have to do some extra work for the day job tonight. I am multi-tasking and also getting the laundry done at least. So what’s been happening?
The Dress Project
For those waiting patiently to hear the story behind the new dress I sported for American Smooth at Beach Bash, here it is! For everyone else who doesn’t know what I’m talking about, keep reading anyways. It’s a good story.
