As we embark upon another new year, people around the world attempt to tackle their New Years resolutions; some for the umpteenth time. Since statistics show that most people fail to stick with their resolutions (most of which are the same ten self improvement goals), it made sense to begin this year with inspirational words from the dance world that can also be applied to every day life.
