From the article Jonathan mentioned:

The preponderance of psychological evidence indicates that experts are made, not born.


That's the part that seems to be most widely ignored in the dance world. But it's also the part that should be the most inspiring - expertise comes from finding a path of entry where you can build some comfort, then doing enough of it to get good at it.
Of course, they are . . .

Yes, I agree. I am very driven by perfection. My father taught me that, if you find the knowledge, prepare, & practice. You have no reason to fear or stress over a performance. Just go do what you have been doing! Never perform for just the experience, only perform if you can do it. The unspoken, there is "There is only 1 first place, & never be happy w/ second place because second place is losing!" Kids toady call it "Bringing your "A" game, and don't come without it." SO, I am crazy like that! And I am trying to fix it! I promise!
Yes, you are crazy indeed.

Starting to wonder if Doll isn't also a size 14 redhead Aries filled to capacity with putting up with everyone else's crap and wants a little Time in the Sun herself, and doesn't want to beat The Male into enjoying it with her, Lol.

I really want to thank everyone for thier input. It's real hard to step back & look at things, when you are going as fast as you can. Thanks! To All!

Hello scottyboysdoll,

Victor Fung.....does his father have a studio in Irvine? (He also has a sister that dances as well?). If so, we sat with the father and watched videos of his son and daughter. (He is very proud of them). It was a very pleasant experience.

My advice....don't over analyze. I don't think that anyone can tell you the best way to have a great "experience". In life, it's the journey that makes the best biography.

I have no idea!? All I know is he has been on Dancing w/ the Stars a couple of times. His partners name is Anna Mikhead. Oh, and they dance Awesome! If it one in the same , I need to visit w/ him. We talked about marketing, while in Dallas, during our lesson. I came across a thing he ask me about & needs to know about. I just have not had time to find him. Thanks! Look him up on "Youtube"! To know for sure!
