I know I haven't been here in a bit, life has been throwing lots at me. Including on a positive note, some amping up from my students (all) and some of their own dance exploits (travels) that have caused them to want to give it more than the 100% they have been giving.
I couldn't be more pleased with the students I have and I am constantly amazed that they honestly do travel to get to my classes. I am honored and humbled at the same time. So, that of course already says something about their desires but now when things are coming up they are all over it. Wow...
In all honestly, I have literally been taking it day-to-day to see what people want, if they want it and such since our little niche in the world is pretty bellydance heavy. Not quite like California but I would put it a close, very close second. Which makes it interesting to say the least to see what is or isn't going to come of the students/dancers/professionals/enthusiasts and such here.
Lots has been discussed about saturation, "community," or the lack there of to ad nauseum. I am just literally taking it, like I said, from day-to-day, enjoying what that day does or doesn't bring and learning from it.
So, when yet another day passes, and the current students are giving me more than I expect or a new shiny face comes into classes and returns, I am truly amazed. Now don't get me wrong, it has nothing to do with my own abilities. In that I have confidences and abilities and I strive to better them constantly, but I am amazed at what people do show and bring to the table, as it were. It truly makes me smile both outwardly and inside, so when some ask how a teacher could have more fun than the students, here is one of the ways.
Til the next time.....
