It's the best day of the ballet year! I love my classes. The longer I teach, the more I realize that it is about love. What Shinichi Suzuki said is so true: "When love is deep, much can be accomplished." Conversely, nothing can be taught if there is no love. Luckily for me, all I have to do with these precious dancers is reflect their love and enthusiasm back at them, and they grow like well-tended flowers, "blossoming even as we gaze." I feel so much gratitude for their hard work and willingness to absorb everything I teach them.

That's a really beautiful picture of I, where she's the only one in focus. Is this the sunsets dance?
Beautiful! I'm like you. With my piano teaching I feel it's 50% teaching a child how to play the piano and 50% investing in their little personalities, building confidence and a sense of accomplishment.
