Journal #14 Jazz Technique III Class #15

And so here I sit on this Thursday afternoon. The day is not nearly half over, but I feel more at ease this day than I have felt in some time! The air is crisp and there is a cool breaze rustling through the leaves on the trees! It is a delightful day to be out! Fall is quickly approaching!
Regarding Tuesday's Jazz class, it was not nearly as depressing as my ballet was earlier that day. I had a chance to reflect and catch my breath. I initially thought I was going to have to present my choriography to the class that day. I must admit that too had been weighing on me. But, alas it turned out that we were simply going to go over our midterm peice and review the three other choriographies for our final performance! This took the stress off me, as I still had a lot of work to do on my choriography. Too me places I was improvising as I didn't have anything solid down. Anyhow, that will continue to be a work in progress over the early part of next week.
I admit, that my mood the other day was quite low, and I think that it was at least good that I expressed that! I think sometimes suppressed feelings about things we feel so passionate about, is unhealthy! Even, though it may hurt or be painful to admit or share, I think it also gives one the oppertunity to seek advice from others around them and to make a better assesment of the situation. So, I will say after considering how I felt the other day, yes it was a difficult day, but no I don't think it's worthing giving up my dream of dance and performance for. I think it's minor trials like these, that give us new found strength to continue and to push even harder towards that goal that we may have. Dreams are good, even the ones that may seem initially impossible! But what we choose to do with those dreams is what really affects who we are and who we want to become! As for me, I hope to one day see myself dancing on the stage with a troope of dancers, and though I may never make it big, even to be regularly involved in productions, that would be my dream!
