Motivationššš
When my careerĀ was first starting out with Dax, I remember everyone telling me, āWow, you made it. You're doing what you love!ā and when those words were spoken, I always felt so weird about it. I mean, yeah, I love to dance, I love swing dancing! And I love to see the world. So is this emptiness really what happens when Iāve āmade itā? I drifted for years until I understood why.Ā
To say I wanted to make a career swing dancing was too broad.Ā
Just because you love the dance doesnāt mean you are going to be fulfilled doing anything and everything to do with Swing Dancing.
Now my husband? He thrives in a live class setting. It is his stage. I have seen him have food poisoning and still be driven to teach. Me? I like teaching but I LOVE to do it specifically online. And that was a hard realization. I pretty much had to tell Dax I wasnāt being fulfilled doing what our entire lives and relationship and been based around. WOW.
But luckily for me, Dax and I are on the same page with finding the most fulfilling work via our online business, just for different reasons.
So I ask: Are you really doing what you love?
And if you think you are doing what you love but you are still not fulfilled I ask: Are you being specific enough?
Maybe you see the lifestyle a top traveling teacher has and you think that is your endgame. But is it really? Because the swing dance world has so much to offer. You could write blogs, be a social media influencer or run a local studio. You could rather be a historian or advocator for safe spaces more than actual social dancing. GET SPECIFIC.
I encourage you to take a few minutes and write down all the things within the Swing Dance world that truly brings you joy to be involved in and all the things that don't.
When you are done, I would love for you to comment below all the little, specific and amazing parts of the Swing Dance world you love.Ā

New Video up! 7 Tips to help you learn choreography FASTER! After years of getting ready for dance competitions, usually only having 2 weeks to drill a new piece of choreography, I have a few strategies that help me to be fast and efficient.
Sarah here, have we properly met?ā£
ā£.
I live in Boise, ID šŗšø
Iām 33 years old.
My mom says I was almost born in the toilet.š½ I guess I was eager to take on the world. š„
Iāve created two humans š¦š»š¦š». Huxley and Beaudry.
I am married to my Swing dance partner. (So romantic I know.)
We help people around the world learn to dance.
.
I remember years of dancing before my ideas about the mechanics of the dance matured.
I had all heart and passion but my body couldnāt always execute my ideas.
I couldnāt enjoy a fast dance without burning out quickly.
I could see a dancer I liked but couldnāt explain WHY it was good.
.
It wasnāt until I met my now husband and travelled the world, teaching people of all skill levels and language differences that not only did my own skills get stronger but I was able to help others do the same.
.
ā£š Now, we have an online dance school where we can reach even more people.
š«We have a mission to help people feel their best, most musical and creative selves on the dance floor.
.
šOur school consists of over 300 lessons including foundation programs and specialty topics. You can check it out (Links in our bio) or go to rhythmjuice.com

Sarah here! I've been learning the Trickeration routine after seeing it all over the web. There was a really cool project called the GLOBAL TRICKERATION PROJECT. You can see the full project video here: https://youtu.be/1QURnOUBUk4
Unfortunately for me, multiple breast infections, moving cities, closing our local business and selling our house in a couple months' time prevented me from making the project deadline. (I know, excuses right?). But itās never too late to spread the word of Norma Miller and her contribution to the Swing Dance community.
As Dax saw me learning this routine he had the idea to share our Trickeration course for FREE so that the stragglers (aka ME) can still learn this fun routine. So will you join me in learning this?
In exchange for this FREE course, we ask you to donate what you are able to the Frankie Manning Foundation. You can see more info about the Global Trickeration Project and a link to donate here: www.ilhc.com/global-trickeration.
*And a huge thanks to Adam Brozowski and ILHC for starting this project.
