I usually make sure my body is one, relaxed\u2026 Maybe I\u2019ll do few stretching exercises and then I am good to go. I breathe in and out very deeply and try to make this performance, rehearsal or class into a unique experience\u2026I am aware of that. I see to it, that I make this in to something I have never experienced before. I also regard these moments as an opportunity to improve or change.<div class=\"ihc-locker-wrap\"><div  class='ihc_locker_2'><div class='lock_content'><p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Imagine_website_Digital_Exklusiv.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Weiterlesen mit Digital+<\/h2>\n<p>Alle Formate in einem ABO.<br \/>\nBequem auf Ihrem mobilen Endger\u00e4t Ihrer Wahl.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alle Artikel online lesen<\/li>\n<li>Zugang zum ePaper<\/li>\n<li>Zugang zum Online-Archiv von Dance for You<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Jetzt digital freischalten!<\/h4>\n<\/div><div class='lock_buttons'>\n  <!-- Login Form - Start -->\n  <div class=\"ihc-login-form-wrap ihc-login-template-11\">\n      <form method=\"post\" id=\"ihc_login_form\">\n          <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ihcaction\" value=\"login\" \/>\n          <input type=\"hidden\" name=\"ihc_login_nonce\" value=\"f87d9d99e0\" \/>\n\n          \n                    <!-- Username field -->\n          <div class=\"impu-form-line-fr\">\n              <i class=\"fa-ihc fa-username-ihc\"><\/i>\n              <input type=\"text\" value=\"\" name=\"log\" id=\"iump_login_username\" placeholder=\"Username\"\/>\n          <\/div>\n          <!-- End of username field -->\n          \n                    <!-- Password field -->\n          <div class=\"impu-form-line-fr\">\n              <i class=\"fa-ihc fa-pass-ihc\"><\/i>\n              <input type=\"password\" value=\"\" name=\"pwd\" id=\"iump_login_password\" placeholder=\"Password\"\/>\n              <span  class=\"ihc-hide-login-pw hide-if-no-js\" data-toggle=\"0\" aria-label=\"Show password\">\n              <span class=\"dashicons dashicons-visibility\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\n                <\/span>\n          <\/div>\n          <!-- End of Password field -->\n          \n          \n          <!-- Remember me checkbox -->\n                    <div class=\"impu-remember-wrapper\">\n              <input type=\"checkbox\" value=\"forever\" name=\"rememberme\" class=\"impu-form-input-remember\" \/>\n              <span class=\"impu-form-label-remember\">Remember Me<\/span>\n          <\/div>\n                    <!-- End of remember me --->\n\n          <!-- Additional links -->\n                        <div class=\"impu-form-links-pass\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/en\/lost-password\/\">Lost your password?<\/a><\/div>\n                    <!-- End of Aditional links -->\n\n          <div class=\"ihc-clear\"><\/div>\n\n          <!-- captcha -->\n                    <!-- end of captcha -->\n\n          <!-- Submit bttn -->\n                        <div class=\"impu-form-line-fr impu-form-submit\">\n                  <input type=\"submit\" value=\"Log In\" name=\"Submit\"  class=\"button button-primary button-large\"\/>\n              <\/div>\n                    <!-- End of Submit bttn -->\n\n          <!-- Social -->\n                    <!-- End of Social -->\n\n          <!-- Additional links -->\n                        <div class=\"impu-form-links\">\n                <div class=\"impu-form-links-reg\">Don&#039;t have an account? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.danceforyou-magazine.com\/register\/\">Register<\/a><\/div>\n              <\/div>\n                        <!-- End of Aditional links -->\n\n      <\/form>\n  <\/div>\n\n  \n  <span class='ihc-js-login-data'\tdata-user_field='#iump_login_username' data-password_field='#iump_login_password' data-error_message='Please fill out all mandatory fields' ><\/span>\n  <!-- End of Login Form -->\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>English Article &#8211; When someone is being interviewed, they always put their best face forward. &#8220;Real Talk &#8221; is designed to help young dancers and professionals by providing them with the whole truth about the problems faced by artists&#8230;on stage and off.
