What are you excited about in your dancing right now?

I'm just having so much fun at the moment. After being very careful for a while, my feet seem to be holding up to dancing more. The studio is running some terrific classes and I'm at the studio 5 days a week at the moment (including one day when I'm practicing while my mother takes a lesson--I drive her there). I have a competition next week and a lot of what I'm learning won't be solid for it, but I'm still really excited about the progress I'm making--thus, I'm sort of looking past this competition to future events. Next one after comp is a team match in mid-October and I'll be doing some smooth with the New Guy I usually do rhythm with and some rhythm with the New Guy I usually do smooth with. Should be fun and illuminating. And I'm doing primarily rhythm with Pro. Despite the fact that we are supposed to be doing both smooth and rhythm, we generally spend more time on smooth, so I'm looking forward to that as well.
 
Been getting a ton of help from my coach on how to plan my practices (including picking what to practice) and it's been really great! Having a plan before I get there has been amazing for my focus and effort level, and making the right progress!

Also, discovering that, for me, not using my standing leg properly seems to be a common thread in any areas that just feel a little off or never seem to go right to full speed.

Solo round at the end of practice yesterday was the best I've felt in my choreo, ever! At one moment I ended up thinking "did I forget to set the music for full speed?" because it felt so easy and controlled. Answer was nope, that's just how successful the technical info I've worked into my body is!
 
oh hai me again on this thread, lol. performed my mambo this past friday in my cool new top from danceshopper/dancebox and it went well! Even got a compliment from my teacher, which is rare and unusual and therefore means a lot. Good, considering it's only been about 3 weeks since i've learned it - the end was a bit wobbly, and i had thinking face through some of it, but this is a nice confidence builder for comp in March!
 
Excited / terrified. Partner and I share similarly audacious goals. And we're planning to use a guest coaching this coming weekend to get a clear picture of what needs to be done for us to hit our 1-year and 2-year goals. On the one hand I'm excited for clear action steps; on the other, I'm terrified to actually say to someone how high I'm aiming.
 
Few things:
1. Foot FINALLY healed up and nearly back to full strength
2. Coaching lessons with some very high ranked pros later this month
3. Charity event I'm dancing in - get to dance with an older pro for free.
4. New Latin dress fits perfectly

February is looking pretty good dance wise for me. :)
