from More Than Dance · host Krissy Phillipino
In this episode, I talk about two very different ways people approach learning.I love using the imagery of a giant pool:Do you walk down the stairs slowly, letting yourself adjust?Or do you dive headfirst and get it all over with?Some of us are coddlers. We like structure, validation, reassurance, and time. We want to feel ready before we fully immerse ourselves.Some of us are divers. We jump in fast, want results quickly, and sometimes skip fundamentals because momentum feels better than patience.You’re never fully ready for the things that change you. And learning itself is a skill.I talk about:• How dance reveals your learning style• Why jumping in too fast can lead to burnout or frustration• The importance of repetition, fundamentals, and time• Where momentum creates motivation • Finding the sweet spot between safety and immersionBeing a great dancer is about knowing when to slow down, when to jump, and how to work with your fear instead of waiting for it to disappear.This episode helps you figure out how you learn so you can become a better dance learner.Follow:Krissy: @krissyphillipinoKDFSTUDIO: @kdfstudio
