I mentioned this in the skype call today that I seem to blog when I have been talking to the MAPP dance community. I seem to leave the skype conversation quite excited and on track with what I need to do then blog and then my bloging goes silent for the next couple of weeks. Why is that? Does anyone else feel like this? I feel like I need to blog alot more often and finally have understood how to request to the Linkin page. It was interesting to hear how the majority prefer to comment in this little group as oppose to go to everyones blog. I'm looking forward to Jamie's blog on oppression, not sure what it will be about yet but I am sure it will be an interesting read!!
So some exciting news to I have officially started my own dance school! : ) Again I ask myself why do i do these things to myself, why cant i make do with having time?
Well the thing is I feel I have to be busy constantly to function. My partner often tells me I can not function without some level of stress, to feel like I am in control. I am not sure if it is conquering the stress that makes me feel good or the inability to relax that does the opposite? ANYONE OUT THERE TO SHED SOME LIGHT?
This post is literally all over the place today- apologies! I am writing whilst ideas and thoughts are popping into my head.
Well going back to the announcement of my very small scaled dance school- why have I done this? Simply so I can allow my daughter to do all the activities she can possibly do without it affecting when she has to dance!
Question:
Why do dance school for children often try to inconvenience the working parent with classes that clash with everything else? Like putting on class at 4pm on a weekday? (Now i understand the logic behind this, kids usually finish school at 3.30 so by the age of the students depends on the time they put the class on) However most working parents can rarely achieve this time. I know i cant because i am working! So i felt that Storm was missing out and I didn't want her to stop or give up another activity like her gymnastics that happens on a saturday morning when most dance classes for her age and ability occur. So my solution work around her!
All the mummies on the MAPP course how are you finding this? Do your littles ones dance? Have I gone over board?
Aggy and Helen I would love to hear your thoughts on this.
Discussion on Time Management in today's skype call= I need to manage my time better and find a better solution!!!
Have a great week

Great post Marie, I wish I could participate in this Skype session too. I think I would have benefited from the conversation you have written about, so thank you for writing about it. As for you being busy to function, I am the same. As soon as I have some extra time to myself I think, what productive things can I do now? What can I start, what can I improve? I find it both giving and tiering at the same time.... My husband finds it stressful;)
ReplyDeleteI have also struggled to find a dance class for my daughter, and my answer too will be to do it myself. So from January I will start with one dance class a week for her (and everyone else, that would like to join) at the local community house 50 meters from our apartment. On a time that is convenient for me:). I am lucky because they already have a room with proper flooring, barres and mirrors and it is quite cheap to rent. But I am nervous anyway.
So best of luck to you and your new dance school!
