Dear Dancer,

This week, we explore the art of endings and turn our focus to the finale of your piece and continue with the element of fire. 🔥 The fire that closes the circle, completes the journey, and leaves a lasting impression.

As you shape your ending, remember: the two most memorable moments of your performance are the beginning and the end. A strong conclusion gives your story meaning and harmony — it’s where everything you’ve built comes together for your vision. 

We have a few tips and suggestions to keep in mind:
✨ Let your ending echo your beginning so that your piece creates a balance or harmony. Revisit your opening moment and find a way to weave its energy or message back into the closing.
✨ If your solo begins as a reflection or a question, perhaps the end mirrors that reflection — showing that your character’s growth isn’t linear, but cyclical.
✨ If your story follows a clear timeline, maybe your ending shows transformation — from Maiden to Mother / from Maiden to Sage.
✨ You can even begin and end with the same combinations (maybe the music repeats) and you change the movements slightly but with a more conclusive movement - this can invite the audience to see a connection to the “growth” of the character. 

 ✨ You can also end by stepping away from the stage while the music fades, not completing a finale pose — leaving the audience with a question mark. But use this intentionally, so it reads as artistic choice, not hesitation. This one can be a tricky one.

Your finale is your flame — let it burn with clarity, courage, and truth.
