That's a sentence I often heard and still hear. Especially nowadays, when people try to deal with change. And I also heard it from managers, when I brought up some issues that needed to be discussed and solved. On the other hand, we talk about change as the new normal and usually that's why I brought up issues. If I would have had a chance to change it on my own without help, I just would have done it. But that's another story. ;)


The more emotional or stressful the situation is, the more likely it becomes that an unreflected decision for "LEAVE IT" might happen. Usually afterwards I started reflecting and seeing options for the other options. But then it was already too late.


First of all I want to mention, that there are situations like this. And it is ok to leave a relationship, a role or a position. The more conscious you are about it, why you are leaving, the better and more confident you will be in future. And if you couldn't make it in such a moment, try to ask yourself some questions about the other options.


To be honest... it took me some years to improve it and in some situations I still feel like a novice. Every time I feel this resistance in me and thoughts like "Oh no, not again." cross my mind, I get a new chance to improve.


And in a world, where the answers for complexity are usually found with AND, this is a way way to change from compulsory to free ways. We are human beings and no machines with electrical circuits or logical algorithms (not all of us) and so we always have a chance to make a decision in the way we (re)act.


When I reflect on this and situations in my life, I feel pride about the way I mastered it. And I am thankful for those moments. Especially when I figured out that I have nothing more to contribute and seeing others taking over.


At an informal border crossing near Ccuta, Colombia, people from Venezuela stream across the Tachira River. Each day, an estimated 5,000 of the people who leave Venezuela, stay and seek work in Colombia or nearby countries.

For others, leaving home is a terrifying life-or-death choice, as it was for 1 million Rohingya people now taking refuge in Bangladesh. They escaped extreme violence, only to end up living in flimsy shelters in overcrowded camps, vulnerable to monsoons and cyclones. My heart breaks for them.

Welcome to Legacy Dance Project's website. Here you can find info about the programs we offer at the dance studio, the dance classes we offer, and the ways we create a positive influence on this generations future dancers. We are proud to be a part of the Downtown Goldsboro NC community.


As the owner of Legacy Dance Project, art in general has always been something I've loved! I double majored in college in Dance Performance and English. There will be typos and misspelled words. But there will be a joy of dance, the adventures of owning a studio, and my journey trying to create a legacy full of life and love for my students. We will share aspects of the dance studio, our dance classes, and the community events around Goldsboro NC. Happy dancing everyone!


Now that showcase is done its got me thinking back on all my years of dancing... there's always memories that outweigh others. Sometimes those are memories of proud successes and sometimes of disappointing mistakes and sometimes... its all about the amazing fun you had when you felt like a superstar.


My favorite costume I ever had was for my senior solo... now keep in mind this was in the height of 2000's fashion trends to I apologize in advance. It was all black, with an asymmetrical hem and this weird squiggly line print. There were half sleeves that started at my biceps that had over exaggerated bell sleeves. As I probably wouldn't choose it now, man, did I think it was something!


See, while costumes may not seem like a big deal to some it is a crucial part of the whole Legacy Dance Experience. Our instructors spend a huge amount of time to think about 1) what would look best on the group as a whole 2) what color and cut best suits the concept of the dance and 3) what will the students LOVE.


Why else do we save our petite dancer's first costume in shadow boxes or their first pair of shoes buried in a box somewhere in the back of the closet or tucked away in the attic? Because in each dance prop, each costume that was super itchy because of all the sequins, because in each strategically placed rhinestone and in the little details of each costume, there is a story to be told and a memory to be cherished.


Our costumes are just another level of how we propel confidence in our students. When you look good, you perform good right? The creativity the choreographers use when designing and picking out costumes and the confidence these dancers exude on stage in all their fanciness is absolutely amazing.


Tell us about your favorite costume or costume story? When did you feel like a superstar? When did a costume not come in a time and you had to put together a last minute solution? What would be your dream costume?


The Petite Program for 3 and 4 year olds to introduce newbies to the world of dance. Our Sweet Petite Program consists of Tiny Tumble, Petite Ballet, and Petite Tap. It's a fast growing program... so much so that we've created two Petite Ballet classes and all our Petite classes are quickly filling up.


The second program is our Core Program. This a structured program that is available to dancers with not as much previous dance training or would like to keep their dance experience on a more conservative side, taking 1-5 classes weekly. Our core program is a wonderful foundation for any dancer between ages 5 and 18, wanting to gain more confidence and provides an avenue for dancers to explore their love of dance and performing.


Our third program is our Concentrated Company Program. This is a more intensive program that is designed for dancers ready to take their love for dance and transform that into a passion of the performing arts. Every Company Program is different at varying studios, so we encourage you to investigate what is required for the competitive company at each studio, to figure out which is best for you. Our company classes are open to dancers 7 and up. Really, once they can retain choreography and perform it without assistance, is when they are STARTING to be ready for company. At Legacy, we require our company members to take technique classes during the summer to maintain their dance progress they have acquired during the regular season. During the regular season, dancers are required to attend two technique classes during the week and attend choreography weekends, usually the 2nd weekend of each month to learn the choreography they will compete and perform. They are also required to participate in other events like master classes with guest artists that are brought into the studio and will be required to be a part of Vet's Stories this year, a tribute to the veterans. Ballet is not required, but HIGHLY encouraged of our dancers, as we have noticed those with ballet training progress to upper levels of companies quicker than those that do not enroll in ballet. Also, ballet is the foundation of all dance, so if dancer's are serious about their dance education, than they should be enrolled in a ballet class. We have 3 competitive teams this year... LDP Company (where dancers learn a lyrical/contemporary and jazz routine, with the possibly of a 3rd summer routine), LDP Tap (where dancers learn a tap routine), and the Goldsboro All-Star Dance Team (where they will learn hip hop, jazz, and pom routines to compete and perform around Goldsboro and Wayne County). Each have their own set of placements/auditions attached to them.
