Coachella just happened, and while the festival is fleeting, we all love the energy that it brings. The outfits and music are great, but the vibes are what really make it so special. And while most of us aren’t dancing in the desert every single weekend…you can bring that same Coachella energy into your everyday life (and your dancing).
Live Life Like It’s a Festival
At Coachella, everything feels like a movie. Getting ready is a whole event in itself. Every outfit has a theme that has been carefully planned ahead of time. Walking around the festival grounds is like moving from one scene to the next, meeting new characters and finding new things to do.
Incorporate this into your daily life. Your schedule is your festival lineup! Take some time to enjoy your day and everything you do in it. Stop rushing and have some fun. Turn getting ready for dance practice into a whole event. Turn up some fun music, sing into your hairbrush, and hype yourself up! Treat practice like something you get to do versus something you need to do. Perspective is everything.
Dance Like Nobody’s Watching (Even When They Are)
Festival energy is all about being authentically yourself and not paying attention to what anybody says. Nobody at Coachella is worried about being perfect. They are there to have fun (and maybe show off a cute outfit).
So when you are dancing, try to let go of overthinking every single move that you do. Focus on how the movement feels and not just if it looks perfect, because dance is all about making sure that you are having fun. The best dancers are the ones who feel the freest when they are dancing.
Express Yourself Through Your Style
Coachella is basically a runway fashion show in the desert for self-expression. Everyone is dressed in sequins, feathers, fringe, and bold accessories. No two outfits are going to be exactly the same, and that is what makes it so much fun. Have fun with your practice outfits by mixing colors and patterns. Try hairstyles and makeup looks that might be outside of your comfort zone. You might even end up loving the results of those experiments. Never be afraid to stand out a bit. There is nothing better than being original.
