Marvelous Monday Music
There are days when the struggle for technical perfection
gets the better of us. Those classes
when nothing seems to be right and frustrations build. When this happens try to focus on the music.
It is easy in the heat of the moment to forget about the
music and concentrate on the extension, or turn-out or pirouettes, etc. But the music is the backbone of
everything! All you have to do is watch
a young child dancing and reacting to a piece of music and you’ll remember why
you are dancing in the first place!
Music is the heart and soul of dance. Listen to lots of different kinds of music as
often as you can. Listen when you are
discouraged, and listen when you are feeling great. Getting a familiarity with all kinds of music
will help your technique.
It will also help your whole being!
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Secret #7dd:
“Always be aware of the music.”

of the Day:
“Music expresses that which cannot be put
into words and that which cannot remain silent.”
