Okay, pity party’s over, enough with the looking back. Time to move on. As Edna Mode said in The Incredibles: “I never look back dahling, it interferes with the now.” [/imperious toss of hand] And so because she is my idol and because she and I are almost the same size, I will follow her example and move forward. And what better way to do that than to set some measurable and realistic goals for myself? Let’s see…
- Pointework. Timetable: two years. Path to success: a three-part process consisting of (1) going to class two to three times a week, (2) a serious lower-body stretch and strength routine, and (3) watching my diet. I’m dropping my carb intake and upping my proteins.
- Sun King Adult Dance Camp. Timetable: two to three years, hopefully after I’ve been dancing en pointe for sometime. Path to success: pointework (see above).
- Recital. Timetable: ? Path to success: not sure. But I don’t care if I’m just an extra in a Nutcracker—I want to be onstage!
Aaaah, it felt good to crystallize my goals like that. I have ballet class tonight and am counting the hours! Sis and I are also watching another dance-related movie tonight. Have a great weekend!
