The lights, music, audience, drama, the unexpected. These are the elements of a dance concert that make the aftermath, the 2 days following a concert, seem a little dull and boring. You look forward to the time away from the responsibilities of the studio and students, but the adrenaline created a natural "feel good vibe"! Here are some great ideas to deal with inevitable decline in energy.
Concentrate on getting outside in the sunshine. Become reacquainted with your local parks, libraries and favorite places to pick up a treat. Consider walking over to a neighborhood restaurant for lunch or appetizers. Heading out for appetizers will make it feel like a vacation!
Like most performers and professionals the creative ideas are flowing after seeing your community performance. Use a sketch book or journal to document your thoughts and ideas regarding next year's performance.
Create an opportunity to meditate in your studio space and use sage to "clear the space". If you are heading into a summer program take this opportunity to remove school year type material from the space to create a shift in dynamics and energy.
Treat yourself to a Master Class in your local community. Take this opportunity before the summer program begins to recreate the sense of being a student within yourself!
After such an intense experience it is important to continue to receive the praise and congratulations from your students, parents and teachers. Take advantage of social media and use the momentum of your success to energize members. With Facebook postings, your school blog, Linkedin and personal emails share information about your Summer Program with personal emails, thank you notes and an end of the school year meeting for staff and teachers.
