What a beautifully rich first chat with the young, light filled Amber direct from cruising the Caribbean during the Covid outbreak. We spoke all things feathers and first contract feels, including taking 3 steps back to pre professional training and showing the necessary grit a dancer needs to establish herself in the industry. Some shiny gold thread throughout this share, touching on the importance of rest, downtime, going inwards, owning your own journey, surrendering and gracefully releasing control. We celebrated the versatility and spongeworthiness of the cruise ship environment, and all that a career on the seas can give a dancer. We challenged the prevalent diet culture, and differing degrees of disordered eating by exploring other ways to perceive food and our bodies as the glorious temples that they are - and the very instruments we use to express our art! Yes we need to talk about this dancers.
I loved that our chat also drew on a really prominent aspect of the Dancer's Circle program, that being the liberation and alignment that comes from being authentic in this industry. The benefits from standing within your power and who you are, in the best version of a dancer YOU can be, is the best position to be standing in, and walking into an audition room from. Hint * This is where the super attractor power is ignited & where you get to stay IN LOVE with dance.
Amber has her whole career ahead of her and I wish her the very best. Big hugs coming to her family as soon as she can finally after FAR too long in limbo land get to them. Thank you for standing in the Circle today my fellow dancing soul.
Keep shining.
