🌙 A little Friday reminder for dance teachers everywhere.
Hi friend,
When was the last time you gave yourself permission to start again?
Not because you failed, but because you’ve grown.
In class, we repeat steps to build mastery.
In life, repetition often feels like regression.
But what if starting over is actually your next step forward?
Misty Copeland once said:
“Know that you can start late, look different, be uncertain, and still succeed.”
That line hit me this week. Because sometimes a reset isn’t about going back, it’s about going deeper.
As educators, we pour everything into our students, but forget to give ourselves the same grace we give them. Growth isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s a quiet decision to pause, breathe, and begin again.
So here’s your Friday reminder: you can start fresh today.
In your classroom.
In your studio.
In your mindset.
✨ Your timing is still perfect. ✨
