Message /// From the Publisher

Happy New Years!

I am excited to ring in the New Year celebrating eight years of publishing, DANZ’N, a dance magazine that would become a part of the dance community of Florida. See pages 18-21 for a journey through the years.

We are also celebrating Universal Ballet Competition five-year anniversary. DANZ’N was part of the launch of this company and we’re happy to see the growing success of UBC over the years.

The 2018 Summer Guide edition, Jenne Vermes, takes a look at “Four Reasons” to partake in summer classes, and other alternatives. We also have a listing of our go-to Summer Dance Programs you should look into for early summer planning.

Dr. Kathleen Davenport, in “Madness in The Media”, takes a sobering look at what is happening in the media and tackles a very sensitive topic that is an important point of conversation to have in the climate that we now have all around us.

Health & Wellness Staff Writer, Kate Corallo, is sharing healthy options in “Apple Cider Vinegar to the Rescue”. Personal Development Coach, Natasha Felix, gives insight into “A Subject of Much Concern”.

What’s your circle of Concern?

Our education segment takes a look at “Financial Aid for College” for college bound students. As I myself have a student ready to embark into College life, I felt it important to share this article with other High School Seniors ready for their next life experiences.

In the reading room, we share excerpts of “The Spark: The Legacy that Changed the Dance World”, authored by my long time friend and dance partner, Cheryl Ale. This is her lifetime journey as a dancer, growing into a dance teacher. Her candid look at the dance world will give you new insights into the realities of a dance teacher’s life.

Karina Felix Founder

On our Calendar of Event pages are several upcoming performances and activities. Remember to go online to see the full schedule of dance events around Florida.

May the New Year continue to be a successful and rewarding year for all.

I wish you all an amazing 2018!

Wendy Whelan:

Former New York City Ballet Member January 22 at 11:30 am (Monday) Her Rise from Anomaly to Stardom A Dancer-to-Dancer Conversation with Steven Caras Like caviar, New York City Ballet dancer Wendy Whelan was at first an acquired taste. But soon this wiry, angular, one-of-akind artist inspired company directors Jerome Robbins and Peter Martins to feature her uniqueness. Whelan’s subsequent rise to Principal Ballerina status coincided with a rapidly growing fan base – an enormous audience who continue to cheer her on to this day. Now fifty, following hip surgery and a glorious farewell at NYCB, Whelan dances on, collaborating with today’s most innovative contemporary choreographers, promoting their important work in the process. Restless Creature, the new, aptly named documentary profiling Whelan’s life, is currently being held-over in theaters across the country. Excerpts will be featured in a revealing, dancer-to-dancer conversation with fellow NYCB alumnus, Steven Caras.

Orlando, Fl New Professional Ballet Company based in Orlando United Ballet Theatre is scheduled to begin performances in the summer of 2018.

Led by Artistic Director Joseph Gatti and Executive Director James L. Boyd III, UBT will operate during the summer when most professional companies are on “lay off” and their dancers are looking for work.

UBT will treat their dancers as athletes by allowing time for maintenance and recovery throughout the workday by providing physical therapy, massage services, and exercise equipment, an unprecedented approach to the professional ballet company cycle.

“The top priority for United Ballet Theatre will be to preserve the dancers to ensure they have long and healthy careers,” said Gatti. “We are going to provide time for our dancers, during the normal workday of rehearsing, to work with personal trainers and physical therapists to ensure they are strengthening areas they want to improve

upon to ensure their long-term health and maximize their potential as dancers.”

UBT will feature 8-10 professional dancers (including Gatti) plus other world-renowned guest artists from across the globe performing classical repertoire and brand new contemporary works.

“I want to provide dancers the opportunity to maintain their income throughout the summer and work with some of the greatest teachers and choreographers from around the world,” said Gatti. “We want to set the bar for ballet in Florida and we want our dancers to become role models for students across the state.”

UBT also expects ballet fans and audiences to reap the benefits when it comes to

how they treat their dancers.

“The structure of UBT will empower our dancers to perform at their absolute best and that will positively impact the quality for our viewing audience,” said Gatti. “It’s also going to allow the dancers to preserve the passion for their roles so each performance isn’t just second nature or ‘going through the motions.’ As with the professional company cycle, it won’t just be about learning choreography and run-throughs after run-throughs.”

In addition to Gatti and Boyd, the staff will include: Professional Ballet Teachers & Coaches: Stanislav Feco, Vadim Fedotov, Irina Depler, Magaly Suarez, Orlando Molina, Lasha Khozashvili. Personal Trainers: Jaime Diaz, Jacquelyn Haas, Heather Southwick (PT, MSPT), Phil Gatti The company will share studio space with the Russian Ballet School of Orlando and is currently in negotiations to secure a theatre for performances.

of the 2017-2018 Season. “Gulf Coast continues to be an extraordinary resource for our Company,” says Joseph Volpe, Executive Director of The Sarasota Ballet. “Not only for the grants that help us to bring the highest quality of dance to Sarasota, but also for the learning opportunities they provide that enrich our board and staff.”

This grant will support the 2017-2018 Season, which features seven programs, including 13 ballets by some of the most celebrated and prestigious choreographers and composers of the ballet world. “The repertoire of The Sarasota Ballet has been one of the main driving factors for the growth and success the Company has seen over the past 10 years,” explains Webb. “My goal this Season is to once again bring to our audience, and indeed our dancers, an array of works that showcase ballet’s versatility and beauty. In just a single season our audience will see works by such prestigious Choreographers as Sir Frederick Ashton and George Balanchine, while in the same evening witness Choreographers like Marcelo Gomes who are impacting the art form today. This artistic freedom is made possible in part by Gulf Coast Community Foundation and it enhances our Company and this community.”

The 2017-2018 Season opened with Will Tuckett’s The Secret Garden 27-29 October. Audiences can now look forward to Company premieres of Sir Frederick Ashton’s The Dream, George Balanchine’s Theme and Variations and Bugaku, David Bintley’s ‘Still Life’ at the Penguin Café, Paul Taylor’s Airs, and Antony Tudor’s The Leaves are Fading, as well as a World Premiere by Marcelo Gomes, star of American Ballet Theatre. Revivals include Sir Frederick Ashton’s Illuminations and Marguerite and Armand, Ricardo Graziano’s Valsinhas, Matthew Hart’s John Ringling’s Circus Nutcracker and Robert North’s Troy Game.

News/// Highlights

Dimensions Dance Theater of Miami awarded a Knight Arts Challenge Grant!

MIAMI - Ten years ago, the Knight Arts Challenge was established to enable Miamians to bring their artistic ideas to life. This year, 43 winners from across South Florida will share $2.5 million for projects that show they have taken that creative mission to heart. Winners come from an array of backgrounds and disciplines, with projects that will help make art general in Miami so that it is seen, felt and heard throughout the city’s many neighborhoods.

A project of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, the Knight Arts Challenge funds the best ideas for bringing South Florida together through the arts. The winning ideas were announced at a special event at the Pérez Art Museum Miami, followed by a communitywide celebration including performances in the adjacent Knight Plaza.

Each year the awards celebrate Miami’s cultural diversity, and 2017 continues the tradition. One project explores the life of Cuban artist José Aponte, who was executed in 1812 when a book of his drawings was alleged to contain plans for a slave uprising. Another project jumps to the future for a virtual reality experience on the history of Stiltsville, the homes elevated above Biscayne Bay. Yet another will restore and publish the photos of Andy Sweet, whose work documents the history of 1970s South Beach and its Jewish retirees.

Because Miami is so much more than South Beach, this year’s winners are activating projects from Doral to Pahokee to the Keys, often in unexpected locations. One will produce a Commuter Biennial, so that suburban neighborhoods can experience the kind of artistic interventions often reserved for the city’s downtown and annual art fairs. Another will fund miniconcerts at Metrorail stations during the morning commute. And don’t be alarmed if, on your way home from work, you encounter mermaids discussing the effects of climate change in a park. That’s simply the Miami Mermaid Debates.

“The 10th Anniversary Knight Arts Challenge winners celebrate life and arts in Miami,” said Alberto Ibargüen, Knight Foundation president.

“They embody what the arts do: they inspire and create common experiences that connect us to each other and to home, Miami.”

The full list of winning ideas is below, and online at knightarts.org.

“True to the challenge’s spirit, winners this year challenged themselves to bring unique passions to Miamians,” said Victoria Rogers, vice president for arts at Knight Foundation. “Miami is a young city. Our challenge winners and our artists are not only telling our stories, they are shaping our city’s identity every day.”

Knight Foundation has invested more than $122 million in South Florida arts since 2005, including support for both large institutions, to more deeply engage the public, and grassroots efforts through the Knight Arts Challenge. Over the past decade, the challenge has helped raise the artistic quality in the city, providing organizations and individual artists the time, resources and infrastructure they need for quality work. In addition, the challenge has helped spur innovation and risk-taking, with 80 percent of projects encouraging or creating innovative arts programming.

There are only three rules for applying to the challenge: 1) The idea must

January/February 2018 . Danz’n

. Acknowledging Your Dedication to Dance!

be about the arts; 2) The project must take place in or benefit South Florida; and 3) The grant recipients must find funds to match Knight’s commitment. The best receive Knight Foundation support. More than 10,000 ideas have been submitted over eight years.

Previous funding for large institutions launched a new media program that includes the signature “Wallcasts” at the acclaimed New World Symphony campus, helped present top films at the Miami International Film Festival, brings Miami-Dade students on free field trips to the Pérez Art

We are thrilled to be selected for such an honor in only our second season serving the South Florida arts community. We look forward to the benefits this grant will bring to our company and our audiences.

On behalf of all of us at DDTM - thank you for your support along our journey!”

Museum Miami, and is building a new high-tech recital hall at the University of Miami Frost School of Music among other projects.

Monday night, Knight Foundation also named 25 arts and civic leaders as Knight Arts Champions, honoring them for their vision, courage and tenacity in building Miami’s cultural community. They include painter José Bedia, author Edwidge Danticat and Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez. Each received $10,000 contribution to an artist or arts organization of their choice. The list of Knight Arts Champions is below.

Eight Year Anniversary /// Danzn

DANZ’N

A CELEBRATION OF DANCE! EIGHT YEARS OF SERVING, SUPPORTING & PROMOTING THE DANCE COMMUNITY OF FLORIDA. DANZ’N has gone through many changes and adjustments over the years. The concept started as acknowledging South Florida’s active dance community. This extended into acknowledging all of Florida as a state with an extensive dance history and a growing expansion of talent and events.

When the idea of a regional magazine came into my mind, it was mostly based on the fact that dance students began and fell in love with dance in their neighborhood dance studio. A studio, a teacher, the music or the movements: whichever it was that made a dancer a dancer, and made that dancer become passionate and dedicated to this art form; investing time, money, time, dedication and so much time. The time and focus a young student puts into their dance experience, starting from a very young age, is incomparable to any other art form or sport. Dance becomes a life long commitment and for the very fortunate a lifetime career.

Dance shows up in all other parts of our lives. Whether it’s in our career or personal life, the discipline required to be a dancer transcends into every aspect of the rest of our lives.

When DANZ’N published it’s first issue in December 2009, under the name – The Dance Magazine of Florida, little did I know that it would reach so many people and help so many studios, companies and personalities reach a different height in their growth over the years.

Believe me when I say that there were many times I felt like the magazine was not accomplishing its goals, and I was ready to throw in the towel. Then I would be approached by someone randomly that would say to me: “Thank you for what you do for the dance community”, and at that moment I would be re-energized and re-inspired to carry one and publish one more issue.

Along the way the magazine went through two more name changes – World of Dance Magazineand now DANZ’N. What also happened for me throughout these years were the opportunities I was given of meeting such a wide range of people, having amazing experiences, and so much fun along my journey.

I hope to be able to continue promoting dance through the magazine and that I can continue to give Florida the accolades it deserves as a mecca of a dance culture to be celebrated and revered.

Thank you for eight years of partnership, support and appreciation!

I look forward to meeting new faces in the community and assisting new businesses excel and grow.

And now enjoy a passage through the years!

Happy DANZ’N!

Summer Time ///Four Reasons Summer Plans

Four Reasons to Make a Dance Intensive Part of Your Summer Plans... .......and some other options for those who choose not to.

For dancers, summer isn’t just about free time, beaches and relaxing with friends; summer is a time for dancers to extend their learning experiences in the dance studio and on stage. The experience of a summer dance intensive or workshop is unique and rewarding, but it may not be on every dancer’s must-do list.

Choice: Intensive 1. By enrolling in an intensive, you often get the opportunity to dance in classes taught by faculty teachers and choreographers brought in from all over the world all in one place. This is especially important for pre-professional dancers, as it will help them build their resume by working with prestigious and renowned faculty as well as make contacts for potential professional work in the field. Many intensives are offered through professional companies like Joffery, American Ballet Theatre, and The Radio City Rockettes, giving students the opportunity to meet and work with current members of the company and faculty.

Four Reasons Summer Plans /// Summer Time

2. Intensives provide level-specific training that can help dancers progress at an appropriate pace. This also helps dancers work in classes of other students who are at or around their same ability level, which allows the teachers to tailor and structure their classes more specifically for each group.

3. Intensives often provide students with the opportunity to meet other dancers from all over the country, even the world. Whether students travel outside of their home city to attend intensives or they are fortunate to have access to an intensive at home, even at their own studio, they will get to spend many of their class hours working with dancers from other schools and from a variety of backgrounds. As a bonus, it is a great opportunity to make new friends as well.

3. Cross training is also ideal for students who want to keep active but would like to add some variety to their annual routine. Instead of dancing, students can try other forms of movement classes (i.e. gymnastics, aerial arts, yoga, etc.) or even sports to keep active and hone their physical skills.

When faced with the task of choosing what to do with their summer, dancers can find endless options to choose from that can fit into anyone’s ideal summer plans. They simply have to decide what they would like to achieve during that time and find the right arrangement to help them do so.

4. Intensives often have elective classes that bring students opportunities to try new styles of dance that their home studios may not offer and perform in venues they may not otherwise have the chance to, such as well known theatres or open air concert halls.

Other options for dancers who aren’t up for an intensive but still want to dance through the summer: 1. Studio classes are usually offered at most schools throughout the summer, and enrolling in those will help dancers keep progressing and working on their skills and technique through the long break. Summer classes are often more focused on technique as there is not usually a recital to work toward at the end of the term. If classes are not offered at one’s studio for summer, dancers can ask their teacher or studio director where they would recommend they find classes to take nearby.

2. Workshops, mini-intensives and conventions are also ideal for students who want to keep growing in their art but don’t necessarily want to commit to the time and structure of a traditional intensive. Students can find weekend-long workshops and conventions giving them the ability to work with teachers and choreographers from the professional industry and from other areas of the world without devoting their entire summer to the experience if they don’t wish to.

FINDING NEVERLAND

Tuesday, Thursday, Friday at 8 pm Wednesday, Saturday at 2 pm & 8 pm Sunday at 2 pm The winner of Broadway.com’s Audience Choice Award for Best Musical, this breathtaking smash “captures the kidat-heart,” says TIME Magazine. Vogue cheers, “It’s a must-see you’ll remember for years to come!” Directed by visionary Tony®-winner Diane Paulus and based on the critically-acclaimed Academy Award® winning film, FINDING NEVERLAND tells the incredible story behind one of the world’s most beloved characters: Peter Pan. Playwright J.M. Barrie struggles to find inspiration until he meets four young brothers and their beautiful widowed mother. Spellbound by the boys’ enchanting make-believe adventures, he sets out to write a play that will astound London theatergoers. With a little bit of pixie dust and a lot of faith, Barrie takes this monumental leap, leaving his old world behind for Neverland, where nothing is impossible and the wonder of childhood lasts forever. The magic of Barrie’s classic tale springs spectacularly to life in this heartwarming theatrical event. FINDING NEVERLAND is “far and away the best musical of the year!”

Doctors Advice ///Media Madness

Madness in the Media I

t is hard to turn on a television, computer, or radio today and not hear of a new allegation of sexual misconduct. So I apologize for opening this magazine and having one more article because I know we are all tired of it. However, I wanted to write about ways to protect our dancers, teachers, and parents. We all want a safe place for our dancers to grow and be nurtured. Sometimes when we turn on the news, we can start to feel that there is no safe place anymore. How can we protect our families and ourselves?

While we cannot prevent everything in life, within your family circle, there are ways to help protect your loved ones. Sex and sexuality are hard topics and are never easy to discuss. There are many ways to talk about these important subjects with the family, and choosing the “best” way may involve your beliefs, upbringing, and religious background. The most important thing is to talk about it. Having a child feel that he or she cannot talk about certain body parts makes it scarier to tell an adult if something inappropriate has happened.

So make sure that your child knows you are a safe person to talk about uncomfortable topics. If you are a studio owner or educator, a student may also tell you about inappropriate behavior. It is important to be aware of the resources in your commu-

nity, and how you are expected to report and respond to a disclosure. You should not be expected to manage this issue alone and there are resources to help you know next steps (some listed below). If possible, have these conversations with another adult in the room or at least nearby (such as able to observe through a window).

The dance studio should feel safe and secure for students. When we turn on scary stories in the news, we can start to feel that every adult is a predator. We have to remind ourselves that the vast majority of people in the world are good people who want the best for our families. In the dance studio, it is important for teachers to be able to touch dancers to help them feel the movement. It is also important in partnering classes for hands to be placed where

30

they can best support the dancer. In both these cases, these areas of touch can be in sensitive areas. It is extremely common in partnering classes for hands to be accidently misplaced to support a dancer or catch a fall and end up on the genitalia.

While perhaps uncomfortable, it is rare for these interactions to be inappropriate.

However, inappropriate behavior can happen. As a teacher, keeping windows and/ or video available for parent viewing can help everyone feel more comfortable. As a student, keeping open dialogue with a partner, teacher, and a parent can help everyone involved. Also, students should feel empowered to ask an adult if something is appropriate or not, as sometimes it can be unclear. Being aware, but not panicking or automatically assuming the worse can create an open dialogue about okay touch and not okay touch. As a parent, watching for unexplained behavior changes in your child like no longer wanting to go to dance class, dancing with a certain partner, working with a specific teacher, may be early indicators to pay closer attention to interactions. This can also be true of the opposite red flags – only want to take class with a certain teacher, always wanting one on one late night private classes with another partner, etc. Again, open dialogue, observing classes, making sure there are no secrets can be ways to investigate any suspicious behavior changes.

No matter how hard we try, there are times when situations are out of our control. If inappropriate behavior has occurred, whether related to dance or not, it is important to take action steps. Firstly, www.DanznMagazine.com

Media Madness /// Doctors Advice

the behavior must stop or be stopped. If inappropriate behavior was reported, our initial human reaction is often disbelief.

Think how many times you have said “no, not him!” to the television lately.

However, it is important to respond to the person’s story and remove the student from further potential interaction with the accused. Secondly, report accusations appropriately and accurately. This is not the time for rumors and whispering. This is the time for reporting any allegations and allowing investigators to do the job of determining facts. There are strict laws regarding reporting suspected child abuse and reporting is mandatory. Thirdly, the accused perpetrator should be removed from any potential role or situation where inappropriate behavior could occur until

facts are established. Lastly, counseling for both perpetrator and victim should be started (not done together). If the victim is a child, then parental counseling should also be started. This is recommended regardless if the accusations are proved true or false after investigation.

There are many resources available for training and to assist in both prevention and reporting. The Boy Scouts of America is one organization that has Youth Protection Training, protocols for adult volunteers, and clear reporting procedures if needed. There are also clear recommendations with both written and video material for protecting volunteers, leaders, and students. The Florida Department of Education also has resources available online. While there are many opportuni-

ties to gain information, it is not always standard at every dance studio for adults to have undergone specific training. It is recommended that studios examine available options, assess the needs of their staff, students, and parents, and take action steps to ensure all are sharing a positive experience.

Dancing, like life, is a balance. Many dancers have a “me too” story. Some of those stories are because of dance, but many have found healing in dance. Therefore, it is important not to “throw the baby out with the bathwater.” The world is not always safe, but it is beautiful and full of joy. We can all take practical measures to keep our families and ourselves safe while enjoying the full offerings of such a complicated and joyful world. Dance Happy Dance Healthy.

Ingestion of raw, organic, unfiltered ACV ‘with the mother’ meaning containing enzymes, proteins, and probiotics, dozens of minerals, amino acids, acetic acid, potassium and beta carotene promotes wellness and relief from a myriad of maladies like those listed above.

ACV contains B1, B12, A and E, calcium, potassium, magnesium and other nutrients.

Because of its acetic acids, ACV creates an environment where probiotics or the good bacteria and enzymes can thrive and survive. It’s antibiotic, anti-fungal, antiseptic properties can naturally alkalize the body and is believed to help to prevent cancer.

Apple Cider Vinegar /// Healthy Eating & Lifestyle

“Inflammation starts in the gut and all disease begins in the gut.

Inflammation in the gut leads to discomfort in other areas of the body.

Simply stated, acidity leads to inflammation. Inflammation leads to disease.” ~ Kate Celesta Corallo, The Kate Effect~

ACV aids in detoxification of the body, specifically the liver by helping improve the filtration system which in turn helps the circulatory system, boosting energy and improving the blood and skin.

One dose of ACV and water will be break up mucus while cleansing the lymph nodes and improving the immune system.

• • • • •

------------------------Digestive issues, bloating, heartburn and gas can be curbed by taking this simple daily recipe:

Consuming more sour and fermented foods produces more alkalinity in the body.

Eat more sour and less sweet.

Holistic healers recommend this ACV recipe for Sinusitis.

This recipe is not a substitute for your medical doctor’s advise.

Always see your doctor for any sinus discomfort.

ACV for Sinusitis

------------------------

1/4 cup ACV 1 tablespoon honey 1 lemon 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper 1/2 cup water

Daily ACV Health Drink 1-2 tablespoons of ACV 8oz. glass of filtered water Add Manuka honey or maple syrup if you cannot tolerate the taste of ACV.

Pour the boiling water into your favorite mug. Add ACV. Stir in cayenne pepper and honey. Then add lemon juice. Add some grated ginger and turmeric.

This recipe may be taken 1-3 times daily in the morning, mid-morning, and mid-afternoon.

-------------------------------------

-----------------------This tonic helps clear mucus to enhance breathing and may possibly keep the infection from becoming chronic. Capsaicin in the cayenne pepper reduces inflammation. Honey and lemon add anti-bacterial properties and a boost of vitamin C to help curb infection. Ginger and turmeric additionally aid in reducing inflammation in the nasal passages. Ahh…breathe!

ACV adds just the right level of acetic and lactic acids to the gut to relieve these uncomfortable issues. An acid-alkaline balance enhances the body’s natural pH for maximum efficiency.

Keeping the body more alkaline will keep energy levels up and immunity high.

Now that you know the power of ACV, use it daily for wellness support.

Digestion can be enhanced by eliminating or reducing foods that are simple carbohydrates and highly acidic. Chronic inflammation begins in the gut and is triggered not only by simple carbohydrates, but also by proteins and grains high in gluten. Omega 6 fats such as sunflower and safflower oils that have been heated and oxidized and used in snack foods such as potato chips, create inflammation.

Writer’s suggestion: Use Bragg Organic - Raw - Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar with the ‘Mother’ - Unpasteurized and Naturally Gluten-Free.

--------/// ---------

Alcohol, refined sugar, brown sugar, glucose, fruit concentrates, soft drinks, milk products and candy produce a high acidic level in the digestive tract.

Kate Celesta Corallo,

However, eating coconut sugar, dates, honey, sprouted grains, fermented foods like sauerkraut, herbs such as fennel, ginger, turmeric and licorice root aid in reducing inflammation in the body.

Personal Development /// Concern vs Influence

A Subject of Much Concern

In the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, the late Stephen Covey presents a very valid concept referring to the effects of focusing on our Circle of Influence vs our Circle of Concern.

That one decision can determine our level of success and sense of accomplishment in our lives.

Circle of Concern:

These are the things in our life we feel deeply about, they touch us, sometimes pains us when we see it happening around us; but we don’t have much, if any, influence on the outcome or have any say in how it is handled. Sometimes the issues are very serious ones; children literally starving to death in faraway countries, villages being destroyed in war and the citizens fleeing in the middle of the night to save their lives and that of their children. Very, very, sad and serious issues; but what can we really personally do to change their fate?

Decisions being made by the government or your boss not performing the way you believe they should. Again, no real say in what and how things get done. On a much lighter note, what so and so posted to Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram. These are all issues that are in your Circle of Concern. They concern you, sometimes they worry you, even anger you, but you don’t have the power or responsibility to bring any changes. This is not a circle you want to spend most of your time in. It will only upset you, frustrate you and make you feel powerless.

Your stress levels and blood pressure go through the roof, while your Facebook friends continue to post whatever it is they choose to.

Concern vs Influence /// Personal Development

CIRCLE OF CONCERN

CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE CIRCLE OF INFLUENCE

Circle of Influence:

If you’re having a tough time living mostly in your Circle of Influence, could it be that there’s some fear there? What are you afraid to confront? If things are in your control, are you afraid you will make the wrong decisions and then there’s no one else to blame but yourself? Is taking responsibility for what’s going on in your life too scary to deal with?

Exercise:

You should aim to increase your Circle of Influence while decreasing your Circle of Concern. When you focus on your Circle of Concern, nothing gets done. Your stress levels and feelings of helplessness rise. However, when you focus on your Circle of Influence, you spend time on things in which you can actually make a difference. This will give you the strength and empowerment to be proactive, effective, and efficient.

Consequently, you will feel accomplished and successful. Ultimately, focusing on your Circle of Influence helps you live an intentional life of purpose.

Be careful not to place everything in your Circle of Concern. Saving the environment is a huge undertaking and no matter how much you want to save the planet, you are unable to bring a change by yourself. The big picture of saving the planet is in your Circle of Concern, however there are some things you can do, like recycling, using reusable bags, taking a glass or mug to work, instead of using plastic cups each time. Those small efforts are in your Circle of Influence, and that’s how you contribute to the bigger picture.

Choose your focus. Choose your life.

Includes everything that is in your control, that you have influence on, that you can personally make a difference in. The food choices you make at dinner time is in your Circle of Influence. Taking responsibility for your life, keeping your commitments and your promises to yourself and others are in your Circle of Influence.

List all of the things that worry you, frustrate you, make you angry, sad, or happy, get you excited or eager. After each of these items, identify which ones are in your Circle of Influence and which ones are in your Circle of Concern? If you don’t know where each item belongs, ask yourself this question. Is there anything I can do about this that will bring a change? If the answer is yes, then it belongs in your Circle of Influence. If the answer is no, then it goes in your Circle of Concern.

The FAFSA should be the first step families take in the planning-for-college process; it’s used by schools to put together financial aid packages, states use it to determine eligibility for state aid, and some scholarships require January/February 2018 .

it as part of their applications.

“Regardless of whether you think you will qualify for funding, don’t fumble by simply not completing the application,” says Martha Holler, senior vice president, Sallie Mae. By just completing the FAFSA, students can gain access to more than $120 billion

in grants, work-study funds, and federal student loans.

Sallie Mae is offering six key points to help families move the ball down the field this FAFSA season: • Get season tickets in advance. Complete the FAFSA as a high school senior — and every year in college, even graduate school.

Financial Aid for College/// education

Having this information ready can expedite the process.

• Don’t miss the opening kick-off. Some financial aid is awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, or from programs with limited funds, so the earlier families fill out the FAFSA, the better their chances for aid. Additionally, submitting the FAFSA earlier could mean receiving financial aid award letters earlier. Timing varies by school, so families should check with financial aid offices and school websites for specifics.

• Go for the two-point conversion. Take advantage of the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to import and convert tax information directly into the FAFSA. After some critical changes were made to address privacy and security issues, the tool is back, and more applicants will be eligible to use it this year.

• Watch out for trick plays. The only way to fill out a FAFSA is at fafsa.gov.

Filing the FAFSA is always free, so watch out for sites that charge fees or make promises that sound too good to be true. Students can reduce the risk of identity theft by keeping their Federal Student Aid ID confidential and reporting any suspected fraudulent account activity immediately.

• Don’t be a Monday morning quarterback. Completing the FAFSA earlier means receiving critical information like the Student Aid Report (SAR) sooner.

The SAR provides basic information about student eligibility for federal student aid and answers to the FAFSA questions. The SAR also includes the Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which provides a clearer picture about eligibility for financial aid as families begin applying to colleges. Families who complete the FAFSA online typically receive their SAR within three to five days.

• Make your final draft picks. Families should list at least one school on the FAFSA. Some state aid is based on the order of how schools are listed, so families should consider listing state schools first.

Don’t drop the ball this season. Take steps to secure financial aid for your college future.

It’s the only way to remain eligible for federal student aid, and the amount of aid can vary year-over-year.

• Review the playbook before the game. Before beginning the application, both parents and students should create a username and password, a Federal Student Aid ID, and gather Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, bank statements, tax returns and W-2 forms.

Pursuing Your Passion is Fulfilling and Leads to Financial Freedom. ~ Robert G. Allen ~

Reading Room /// The Spark

The Spark/// Reading Room

The Spark:

The Legacy that Changed the Dance World A love for the pure artistry of dancing is not something that fades.

Excerpt of The Spark This book is for you, my wonderfully passionate, creative artist! You, like me, dreamed of being great dancers and in many ways we have continued to live that dream. You and I love the pure artistry of dancing and want to embody this passion in our lives, even if we’re no longer dancing professionally. Let’s really dig deep here for a moment and self reflect who are you now – why did you make the choices you made? What is stopping you now from living your greatest dream?

I really didn’t know who I was when I left Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre. At that time I didn’t have a whole lot of money in the bank to pursue a degree in dance. And, really, who wants to sit in a classroom for four years of academia after a life of freedom, performing, and traveling?

And then there’s the idea of learning how to teach from a ballet master. Where would we end the time? Once we’ve left the world of ballet companies or musical theater, our resources dwindle quickly, and waitressing (or whatever gig we can do at night) exhausts the body, so the next day we can hardly stand in ballet class for eight hours while we learn how to teach.

If you were a celebrated principal in a ballet company, you almost want to leap to some other career entirely rather than reveal that although you are a superb artist, teaching feels daunting.

You are overwhelmed by the prospect of teaching a myriad of ages, levels, and styles with all the layered complexities of this art and the ever-changing dance world of today.

You may be in pain because you feel a bit kicked to the curb by the dance industry, like so many of us. We are left with no real basis for an income, no pension, just, “Oh, you were fabulous. Don’t let that stage door hit you in the derriere when you go... see yaaa!” Our beloved world of dance comes with many cruel, cold realities you probably never imagined you would be experiencing.

Eventually, it comes down to this: you have a family, or children, or other responsibilities.

Maybe you think you have to leave dance, the love of your life, and go do what the world is asking you to do to make the money necessary to provide a substantial living.

I did that. I went into real estate, and I was surprised and stung to be judged for my art: “How could you be good in business, what www.DanznMagazine.com

could a dancer know about that?” For the most part, I was not taken seriously, so I didn’t talk much about dancing or my ballet company past. When you have to survive in this world as an artist with this kind of thinking, you may choose not to reveal the past 30 years of your life, like I did, since the evidential response is detrimental to you being able to make a living.

But how long can you go on like that, with the pain of stuffing down your feelings and masking your true superpower? You feel like you wanna tear off your suit and just be who you were born to be on this planet, right?

Let’s talk about “The Spark.” That inner light that makes you, YOU – and that is what you’re here to share! With our collective creative integrity and our authentic selves in place, whether as teachers of dancers or in any other vocation, we are capable of anything.

Many of us return to the dance world after a hiatus spent in some other vocation. Some of us land a dream job heading up a large school where a company resides, and that can feel a little like being a deer in the headlights – now what?!

However you came to teaching, you are likely struggling with developing a curriculum, because you can see that what’s being taught is not working either for the school or the students; you are not producing a nished dancer who is diverse enough to have the choice of where they would like to dance. Transitioning from dancer to teacher is a big responsibility, especially at the large-school level. It can sometimes feel like the dancer’s nightmare so many of us have experienced. You know the one, where you’re thrown into a new position or piece in a ballet with little or no rehearsal, have to rush to put your makeup on because you are already running behind, and then arrive on stage feeling anxiety- ridden because you barely know the choreography and there you are, performing in front of a live audience. Makes my heart pound just thinking about it! And yet this same kind of anxiety, of feeling befuddled and under-prepared, is very real for teachers and studio owners looking for tools to guide faculty and mentor hundreds of students.

Being intelligent and resourceful, you know you need guidance, whether you have been elected to a position so many had been vying

43

to attain, or you are looking to take your dance studio to the next level. You know that in order to be a leader you must expand your knowledge base in order to create a real difference in this enormous body of work, the ever-changing performing arts.

For those who get a degree in dance, the experience can be underwhelming, to say the least. I’m sorry to say that the academic world doesn’t teach what made you the passionate, accomplished, and diverse artist you have become.

Too many dancers unlearn their artistry in the academic world, because the lessons we’re looking for are not on the stagnant pages of some textbook. Your answers are inside of you!

You were born intelligent and intuitive, with a robust imagination and heightened sensory awareness that even now has nudged you to pick up this book!

--------/// ---------

In this book, we are going to take a journey of self- reaction, an experiential review of who we think we are today and what we believe about ourselves. I will introduce you to the many dimensions of intelligences that we possess naturally as dancers, attributes we’ve had all along but somewhere along the way lost. This bold new approach will show you how to be a resilient dance teacher, one who reawakens the passion and principles we all possess. The following chapters will help you discover your greatest potential as a teacher, and teach you how powerful you really are in this world. I am very excited to take you through the journey of this book.

We are going to experience new transformative thoughts and feelings, develop ourselves emotionally and physically, and put intention into action.
