What You Focus On Grows

The Series: What You Focus On Grows

A 4-Part Series on Mindset, Momentum, and Mental Focus for Dancers

What if progress depended less on how fast you’re moving—and more on where you’re headed?

In both dance and life, it’s easy to feel pulled in every direction. You work harder, say yes to everything, and keep pushing forward. Yet despite the effort, the results don’t always match. That’s where this series begins.

With each article, you’re invited to pause, shift your perspective, and reconnect with your purpose. Instead of moving faster, you’ll learn to move with greater focus—one intentional choice at a time.

“What You Focus On Grows” is a four-part series designed to help dancers align their focus with their goals. Through weekly reflections and actionable insights, this theme explores how intentional attention can shape your path. Rather than rushing toward progress, you’ll learn to pause, redirect, and grow with clarity. Whether you’re navigating auditions, refining your technique, or rebuilding your mindset, this series offers steady support. Over the course of four weeks, each article builds on the last—encouraging a shift from scattered effort to meaningful direction.
