Sunday Love
In keeping with our theme of performance hints, today I’m
going to talk about one of the best hints I ever received as a dancer. It is something I used in every performance I
did from the time I first heard it at Florida State University. It is a short, simple saying, but it works
wonders.
It is a gentle reminder that encompasses the other things I
talked about in previous weeks. It helps
put the focus where it needs to be: on
the audience, not the dancer. So try
this at your next performance, whether you are a dancer, teacher,
choreographer, or director.
Right before a performance and after warm-up, gather the
dancers together and give this simple directive:
“Do it with love”.
“Do it with love”.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Motivational Secret #21:
“Do it with love.”
