Sunday and Sabotage
Competition is a part of every dancer’s life, like it or
not. So how do you handle it? Most dancers enter an audition with the idea
of “getting the best part”, and as soon as they arrive at the studio or onto
the stage they immediately begin scoping out The Competition - sizing up their
rivals.
This is always self-sabotage. There will always be dancers that are better,
or taller, or shorter, or those who have higher extensions or those who have
who have prettier feet. Pretty soon
intimidation and generally bad feelings descend. Not good.
Instead, focus on yourself and try not to compare yourself
to others. Comparing is seldom
productive. Focus on the creative side
of the class and the experience of dancing.
That’s really what it’s all about – remember? Dancing.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Motivational Secret #22:
“In any competitive
situation remember to focus on the love of dancing.”
