The Future of Phusia

It was only a matter of time really, everything is, when I would wake up and admit to myself something needed to shift with Phusia.   It's difficult when you have a dream to experience failures yet persevere, regroup and emerge with a new perspective.   

For awhile now, I've been sitting with a few problems I've had growing Phusia.  The first has been getting the masses of dance teachers to get behind it.  I think without a "syllabus" or technique, most dance teachers don't think of Phusia as a dance class.  I understand this thought process because ultimately what does distinguish Phusia from any other "dance fitness" class if we aren't teaching any technique?  Secondly, participants come and stay or come and go and when more are coming and going, you need to take a good look at why they aren't coming back.  Bottom line, they are intimidated.    Finally, as great of a cardio workout Phusia is, it hasn't filled the "workout" bill yet.   Sure you move, sweat and the hour flies by but the next day do you wake up and feel like you "did something?"   

I've come to a solution.  It's raw, unpolished, a bit on the fly right now, however I think I'm on the right track.   I will be working through it with my class here in Stowe and get my instructors up to date and on their paths as well. 
 
My message to you:  stick with it, it will unveil itself with patience and persistence. Also, maybe get into yoga.  Yoga has freed up my head so the good stuff can come up - so thank you yoga (specifically my yoga instructor, Elisa).  There, I said it.   Yoga has allowed my Phusia to evolve and I'm grateful.  And by the way, the solution isn't yoga based - Phusia is all about dance baby!
