Family Time vs. Dance Time: Finding the Balance
In this heartfelt episode of Starbound Unscripted, Ms. Jennifer Hawkins shares insights from a long-overdue anniversary trip to Hawaii—where family, reflection, and culture brought fresh perspective on the importance of balance.
Join Ms. Jennifer as she explores how families can navigate the demands of studio life without losing sight of connection, how dancers and parents can find joy in small moments, and how studio owners can embrace rest, delegate with confidence, and return stronger.
From garlic shrimp at a beachside food truck to a Japanese fortune stand with a beautiful metaphor for letting go, this episode is filled with meaningful moments—and a chocolate break inspired by a sign that read: “Every day, try to do something you love.”
Whether you're a dance parent, teacher, studio owner, or performer, this episode is a reminder that joy doesn’t live on a schedule—it lives in the spaces we make for it.
🎧 Listen now and breathe in the balance.
