Activity journal entry

The activity that I do every week is dance. 

Are there ever feelings of doubt or wanting to skip practice?  If so, how did I move through them?

I don’t feel much doubt about going to practice mainly because I’m really passionate about dance. There are some instances where something comes up and it’s during the time that I have dance and I may want to skp dance for that opportunity/activity especially because it doesn’t come up as often as dance does. But for the most part I don’t question going to dance since it has become so integrated into my schedule. There are times where we tak a week or two of dance for a vacation or some holiday and I actually miss going to practice during the week/s that dance it out. I strongly believe that we should cose to participate in activities that we enjoy and that make us happy because then what’s the point. I love to dance and therefore I don’t have any doubt about it. 

How do I motivate myself to stay active?  

I love to move and dancing makes me feel good so that is my main motivator when it comes to going to practice. Needless to say there are some days that aren’t as good and it makes it difficult to stay 100% focused while dancing. There are some classes, for example, pointe that I don’t enjoy that much but that I can see the improvement in my other classes so it makes it worth it. 

What have I learned from this activity and how did this learning (ie a change in perception) apply to me as a person?

I’ve learned how to be dedicated towards something that I really love. I’ve learned how to work hard and be patient with myself. Each class that I take I learn and grow a little more to develop my style as a dancer and become a better dancer. This relates to my CAS project because the project is one of the opportunities that I am taking to become a better dancer. To be able to put on a successful production I need to have perseverance and commitment to the project.
