I, Carmen Mock, will approach dance with new enthusiasm and commitment. Let dance become my greatest art of self-expression and let nothing get in my way.

I must:
correct my wrong doings
clear misunderstandings
never lose sight of what my final goal is
not sell out
only dance for the greater good
stay humble & true
& dance with love not hate

Never forget:
to give due credit, even when others do
that you're only human and every loss is not a humiliation under the right attitude and state of mind


Dance is never about the glory. I will no longer dance for the praise or the acceptance of others. From now on, it is for me to show myself that I can do this. I don't need anyone to hold my hand anymore.

Don't let thoughtless emotion stop you from achieving what you deserve. Perseverance will lead you to greatness. Who helps you get there is your choice. Choose wisely. Don't leave those who've helped you behind.
