Pulling today's quote from Randee Paufve's artist profile on the blog….I have studied with Randee for about 15 years now. These words capture so much for me – as a student and as a dancer in her work:

You’re training is up to you, your body is

yours, you are perfect the way you are, but

you can always be more of who you are.

Don’t do things that hurt. Breathe, stay

tuned (in and out), eat good food, work

hard, push yourself, find good teachers,

don’t overdo it, less is more. Release

techniques are absolutely necessary to

study, dance from your bones and all that,

but you also need to develop your muscles.
