| Angelika's tip: To dance at your maximum potential, maintain your physical, emotional and mental health through mindful living and nutritional eating. Continue studying and keep an attitude of wonder and openness, an attribute so succinctly expressed by Zen master, Shunryo Suzuki: "In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's there are few." |
