Many times as dancers we become hyper-focused on the art form and passion we love and we can lose ourselves. It is very important to be sure that you do not place your entire self-identity in one place. When dancers simply identify as a dancer they may forget to explore other avenues in life and other interests. I would love to encourage all young dancers to find hobbies, explore other activities and find other things that make their hearts happy. If dance someday is no longer an option this can be very devastating. Find yourself and remember that dance is something you do, not who you are.
