<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> As a coach or a dancer, have you revisited the goals you set over the summer or at the beginning of your season? Have those big goals been on the forefront of your mind as you go to practice every week? There is no time like the present to get razor-focused on your goals!</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In January, most people are trying to set big new goals for the year.
