I will not give up – I will ask for a variation

 

I understand that not every thing is right for every body, and that not everyone learns at the same pace

 

I will own my uniqueness and embrace my beauty without comparing

my body or movements to others

 

I will own my frustrations, push through them and finish strong

 

I will point my toes and straighten my legs

 

I will be open-minded and embrace things outside my comfort zone

 

I will remember that just because I already learned something it does not

mean I cannot perfect it

 

I will not say “I can’t” I will say “I’ll try”

 

I will give my instructor and classmates respect. They should not have to

talk over me or dance while I am chatting – my conversation can wait

 

I will support my classmates and cheer them on for even their smallest

accomplishments because every success is important!

 

I will not hog equipment and ask for just one more try - which results in my

classmates getting one less try

 

I will help my classmates with skills they already know but I WILL NOT

teach them new skills, understanding that doing so is a liability to the

studio, is disrespectful to my instructors, and disrupts the curriculum
