December: Juwan Alston

Dec: If you could ask Santa for something (real or imaginary) that would make your dance life or personal life easier, what would it be?

Christmas for a Dancer Well, if I could ask Santa Claus for anything, I would probably ask him for more flexible ankles. I just feel that would make things slightly easier in truly taking my lines to the next level! I do feel like, as a dancer, we spend all day in front of a mirror, so we search for flaws in ourselves. Or things that we want to change, especially because we are constantly comparing ourselves to others. So many times we get into the mindset of, “If only I was as flexible as Lauren,” or “I wish I could turn like Josh.” But where ever we go, there is going to be someone that can do something better than us. So even if we were to recieve this “gift” from Santa, we would never be truly satisfied and constantly want something more. So instead of focusing on what we could use to make our lives better, let's focus on the things that we already do well while acknowledging what we are looking to make stronger. Merry Christmas to everyone!
