Feeling Uncomfortable In Dance Class? Try This | Ep 111

In this episode, I share a class exercise we do every so often and why it has become one of my favorite ways to measure growth. The first time you do something, it can feel overwhelming. The second time, you have a reference point. The third time, you start to see progress. And before you know it, the thing that once felt scary starts to feel familiar.  We talk about how to pull from your real life and use familiar experiences to navigate new ones. We also dive into the power of repetition and why doing something more than once is often the key to building confidence. If you have the opportunity to repeat an experience, take it. If you don't, create the opportunity yourself. Put it on your calendar. Make it a tradition. Give yourself a marker in time to come back to it. Because every time you return, you're not starting over. You're building familiarity. And familiarity has a way of replacing fear, discomfort, and uncertainty with confidence, trust, and momentum. Sometimes the thing you're missing isn't talent. It's another rep. Follow: Krissy: @krissyphillipino KDFSTUDIO: @kdfstudio

Free Yourself From Perfection By Increasing Your Reps... AKA DANCE MORE | Ep 109

This is the secret to lowering your pressure and perfection on yourself. If you are coming to dance infrequently, the way you approach dance will be different than when you come more frequently. The reps matter.  Rep = 1 class 1 opportunity (one shot). That means everything counts. If you mess up you feel it more. You're harder on yourself. You weigh things so heavily.  Coming more frequently (getting in the reps) is the answer to experience less pressure and freedom from perfection.

How To Critique Your Dance Through Observation and Without Judgement | Ep 108

There is a way you can take in information and not be so mean to yourself.  On the dance floor observations turn into judgements fast and its because of expectations. An observation will lead us to a conclusion and when you observe with judgement that conclusion is a negative one about yourself.  In this episode, we talk about how to heighten your awareness to know when the  judgements are coming. How to take note so that you can intervene. ex. Forgetting a moment in routine ..  We go over how to observe and understand that one mistake is never permanent and its always fluctuating and that there is a certain time constraint with the amount of observations/dance routine.  Follow: Krissy: @krissyphillipino KDFSTUDIO: @kdfstudio
