Transitions Are Expensive Myth of Motherhood

    • Parenting

I was 16 the first time I had a teacher talk about transitions. The way that we connect movements, steps, positions are what make dancing dancing and not classroom exercises.

The dancing happens in the transitions.

In this episode I share a few words of wisdom from my beloved ballet teacher Kat Wildish including, “Transitions are expensive.” They’re expensive because to have the control, musicality, sensitivity, and awareness to make them seamless takes years of training. Time, discipline, blood, sweat, and tears.

And she’s so freaking right.

Our breath naturally transitions easily from inhale to exhale. Day transitions to night. We’ve transitioned from 2021 to 2022. So let’s dance our way into this new year. One breath at a time.
