Breathing Into The Moment: 41 Years to Now
“The journey is not always a straight line; sometimes the pauses and detours are the very things that prepare you to finally breathe into the moment you once only dreamed about.”
Session Summary
In this session of The DancePreneuring Studio, we travel from a small Pacific island to the bright lights of New York City, tracing a 41-year dream that finally arrives in real time through breath, presence, and synchronicity. Rooted in personal reflections on childhood in Guam, a formative love of dance, and a recent trip to see Turn It Out with Tiler Peck & Friends at New York City Center, this episode explores how intentional breathing and long-held vision can reshape the way we move through art, business, and everyday life.
A Few Key Takeaways
In this session, you’ll learn:
How a dream first sparked by movies likeBreakin',Flashdance, andFamegrew over four decades into a lived experience of walking New York City streets and sitting in the audience forTurn It Out with Tiler Peck & Friends.
Why breath functions as a quiet companion through seasons of doubt and distance, becoming a grounding practice for both performance and entrepreneurship.
How Tiler Peck and her collaborators fuse ballet, tap, contemporary dance, and improvisation into a living example of presence, authenticity, and risk-taking onstage.
What the commissioned pieceTime Spell—with its live vocals, emphasis on breathing, and invitation to “be yourself”—reveals about authenticity and the sacredness of live performance.
How a seemingly separate business conference in New York echoed the same themes of breath, leadership, and showing up fully, highlighting surprising synchronicities between dance and business.
Why non-linear journeys, detours, and pauses often serve as preparation for the very moment that once felt impossibly far away.
A simple three-breath practice you can use anytime to reconnect with presence, possibility, and trust in your path.
