The Power of the Pause: Why No Progress in Your Pole or Aerial Journey Can Still Mean Success

In a world that constantly shouts “more, faster, better!” it’s easy to get caught in the relentless cycle of chasing progress. For many of us, this endless race spills over into every sphere, including our beloved aerial journey. Success is too often defined in our heads as that gravity defying lift or insanely flexible splitty move. But what if we redefined what success looks like? What if standing still could …

The Meme Bull Sh*t

I’ve been coming out of a deep depression.  I’ve experienced depression spells over the years but have been able to adequately handle it and they have been manageable.  But this one spell lasted for a year.  During the hardest, most challenging, and most isolating year that we all experienced.  This post isn’t about depression and how to best deal with it.  Only qualified mental health professionals can do that.  What …

April’s Student Blog – Sara

“I have always enjoyed dancing and performing, and I will be the first to admit, i was never the best. I am pretty sure I was banned from front row center position (the position of the most talented in class) from dance class when I screwed up in the big recital when I was 7 or 8. From then on, I was always positioned on the ends. When my grades …
