More Than Dance

Most People Quit Here... And Why You Shouldn't | Ep 74


Listen Later

There’s a phase of growth that feels uncomfortable enough to make you question everything, and most people quit here because they don’t understand what’s happening.

Dance teaches this perfectly

When something is being rebuilt, it looks chaotic in the middle. Foundations crack. Pieces are removed. The space becomes unusable for a moment. And if you don’t know that this is part of the process, you’ll think something has gone wrong. Think of anytime you have observed construction within a house.

Dance has an ugly stage (EP 3 FOR MORE) and it’s actually a beautiful one. It’s the moment where what was can no longer support what you’re becoming. It reminds me of the Tower card in tarot. Things fall apart, not as punishment, but because the old structure can’t hold the next version of you.

Perfectionists struggle here the most.

We want progress to look smooth. Predictable. Organized. But real transformation isn’t tidy. It’s disorienting. It asks for trust before clarity. It asks you to stay when you don’t fully know what’s coming next.

Some people hit this phase and decide it’s not for them. They don’t like the discomfort. They don’t like not knowing. So they stop and and they stay stuck exactly where they are.

Others learn how to stay.

They let things be messy. They let choreography fall apart. They let themselves feel awkward without deciding it means failure. They trust that something stronger is forming underneath it all.

Some people will say, “It’s okay, you don’t have to do this.” And while that sounds kind, comfort can quietly keep you stuck. You have to get selective about whose voices you listen to when you’re in the middle of becoming.

Messy doesn’t mean wrong. It means something real is happening and if you can stay through the discomfort,  trust the process before it looks pretty, you can have amazing transformation. 

Dance  teaches you how to stay with yourself when growth gets uncomfortable, and that changes how you move through everything.
