Skyler Maxey-Wert: You want Success? Unlock Your Greatness from Within.
Skyler Maxey-Wert unlocks what greatness looks like through the lens of his life as a dancer at the SemperOper Ballet in Dresden, Germany. His recipe is quite concise:
- Developing strong technique and technical acumen ingrained in your body through years of training.
- Understanding the specific vocabulary of dance.
- Sticking it out even when you doubt yourself or face the ridicule of other people.
- Having a strong network of support – no one who is successful does it alone.
And then, he says something extraordinary. Inspired dancing, expressive dancing is more than a well-arched foot or the line of a person’s body. For Skyler, dance is the physical manifestation or representation of something that is happening on the inside. It is taking the vocabulary of dance and then doing something with it, because in the “doing something with it” is where the artistry lives. It is dedicating yourself to authenticity, because in dance you can’t fake it if you want to create something great.
So why such intense focus on greatness? As Skyler succinctly states, “When you’re a professional, no one wants to see a very good student. They want to see someone who can make something out of their technique… You have to breathe into being an artist.”
