    S3// Ep21// "...Tales from the Pre-Digital DVR TV Era..."

    Remember the frustration of missing the start of your favorite TV shows because your parents just had to watch the news? We've all been there! Or have we? This episode takes a trip down nostalgia lane, reminiscing on the pre-DVR era, where shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Quantum Leap were missed due to parental TV schedules. We uncover the agony of growing up without Netflix or Hulu, and the annoying habits our folks had around the television. 

    As if that's not enough, we're also shedding light on the mysteries of parent-style household rules. Ever wonder why you couldn't eat in your room? Or why your chores seemed inconsistent? Oh, and let's not forget about the irrational energy-saving tactics they employed. We're diving into all these frustrating and sometimes funny memories from our childhood, and ponder the scary thought - are we turning into our parents? Tune in for a relatable discussion on the idiosyncrasies of our folks and an amusing journey through memories that shaped us.

    Episode 17: The Gondolas of Medellin

    Episode 17: The Gondolas of Medellin

    The story of the gondolas of Medellin, Columbia, is the history of Medellin itself. We explore how Medellin went from Spanish colonial mining town to industrial city and then, via building a robust public transportation system - and in particular the gondolas - Medellin transformed itself from a murder capital to a tourist-magnet destination. Medellin took a no-wrong-door, holistic approach to its many problems. In the process, the city built a responsive, but inexpensive, form of public infrastructure well suited to its mountainous, but urban, terrain.

    Ep. 54 Life Lessons in Dance with Sarah Reis, Pt 2

    Ep.  54 Life Lessons in Dance with Sarah Reis, Pt 2

    Dance Teachers, join Sarah Reis and Loren in this follow-up to Episode 53: Life Lessons in Dance. They delve deeper into the concepts and ideas presented and provide practical insights into the emotional side of dance. This episode will help you better understand the emotional aspect and equip you with the tools to help your dancers put it into practice. Don't miss out on this valuable opportunity.

    Show Notes

    Emotional and Life Development Skills Beyond Dance
    Sarah Reis, MEd

    We know that dance is a physical activity so it's not surprising we have to constantly work on developing physical domains like flexibility and strength. We also have to work on our artistic development; use of breath, conveying emotion, storytelling. We talk about these things throughout our dance journey but we rarely discuss the emotional development needed to support us as we work on our physical and artistic development. This blog in collaboration with its corresponding podcast identifies some of the emotional development challenges we can work towards on our dance journey. Working on these things will help us become the best version of ourselves.

    1. Learn to Set Goals and Develop Reflection Skills: It has been proven, if you write your goals down you are more likely to achieve them. Make sure they are measurable and attainable and break them down into smaller chunks so the process isn't too overwhelming. Learn to reflect and check in on your goals.

    2. Develop Time Management Skills and Organizational Strategies: Dance keeps you busy, in order to succeed you will need to manage your time wisely and get yourself organized.

    3. Embrace Leadership Opportunities: There are leadership opportunities everywhere in dance; motivating your team, helping out with younger dancers, organizing events. There is a lot to learn when you put yourself into leadership positions, do it often and aim to do the best you can.

    4. Learn to Win with Grace and Loose with Grace: Talk to the adults in your life about the value you place on winning and your philosophy behind it. Understand that your philosophy is uniquely yours and you may not agree with other members of your family or on your team. There can be big emotions that come along with winning/losing for some people. Check in with yourself on where you are at emotionally. Check in with your mentors if you need direction navigating big emotions. Motivational speakers always say that your biggest growth comes on the other side of your comfort zone. If you are being emotionally challenged in your losses, use that to push you forward in your training.

    5. Work to Understand What We Feel and Monitor Feelings: We often know that we are feeling something but sometimes can't exactly pin point what it is. Learn to take inventory of your emotional experiences and it will help you understand the scope of your emotions better. When we understand what we are feeling we can better target ways to manage these emotions. A bonus is that as we begin to understand more emotional depth our ability to share emotion on stage can open up.

    6. Celebrate in Others Success: When we are genuinely happy for others we open our spirit to receive success in return because we rise together. You have probably already seen this happen in your dance classes. Ever notice how nobody had their side aerial and then boom! Everyone got it the same week? Isn't it interesting how that happens? We see each other, we celebrate each other, we are inspired and we rise together. It is okay to be feeling emotions such as jealousy… acknowledge it, feel it and work through it. As you are able to celebrate the success of others you will notice that you may even feel healthier. Our emotions affect our gut health.

    7. Respect Opportunities to Dance: Respect those that support you and your dance journey by providing the opportunity for you to dance. It is a privilege. Respect your fellow competitors by clapping for everyone, your teachers by thanking them for their time. Respect choreographers by working hard to develop their vision. Respect venues by cleaning up after yourself and others. Create a culture of respect for the discipline of your craft and you will be rewarded.

    8. Curate a Positive Attitude: Positivity is infectious. So is negativity. Stop the negative body image self-talk. Kill the gossip. Squish the drama. Open your heart to positivity and be the light.

    9. Learn from Everyone: You can learn from everyone. Everyone has something to teach you even if the only thing you learn is patience. Learn from the beginner who asks questions. Learn from the master who has already made the mistakes. Learn from the vibrant star who gets things easily, learn from the quiet dancer who works harder than anybody in the room. Everyone has a unique perspective, learn from everyone. Listen to all of the corrections particularly those that aren't directed towards you.

    10. Apologize When Necessary and Take Ownership of Your Mistakes: We are human, we make mistakes. Learn to own your mistakes like the human that you are. Own them, apologize for them and work to be better. Apologizing, and meaning it, helps us heal from the weight of things going on in our life.

    11. Learn to Take Compliments and Learn How to Give Genuine Honest Compliments (and Give Them Often): Stop deflecting and down playing the compliments you get. People are giving them to you because they believe them - so should you. Make eye contact, say thank you and internalize that compliment because you are amazing and you deserve it.

    12. Learn to Embrace the Difficult Loss as an Opportunity for Growth: This tie into learning to lose with grace mentioned previously. Things won't always be easy but nothing that is truly monumental in our life comes easy. If it was easy everyone would be doing it and if it is easy it's unlikely to be memorable.

    13. Develop Resiliency of the Mind: Develop your physical resiliency, your emotional resiliency and your artistic resiliency. You will be tested on this journey so you will need it.

    As we take on the journey of life developing a strong emotional connection to ourselves will help us understand who we are and build emotional intelligence. It will be lifelong work, but we are always a work in progress.
