Mad Monday Murphy’s Law
Murphy’s Law states “If anything can go wrong, it will”.
No one knows who Murphy was – or if he was a real person. Some attribute this saying to Edward Aloysius Murphy, Jr. who was an
American aerospace engineer. The
expression is also believed to have been created during WWI or WWII in some
branch of the military. But no one really knows for certain. And to think this expression went viral in the days before the internet!
This famous law is often quoted by both pessimists and humorists.
The dance world has its own version, and it goes something like this: “The best things you do will never be
witnessed by the director or an audience. Your best dance moves will occur in
your kitchen. At midnight. When no one is around except the dog.”
Sound familiar? There are many other situations in dance
that have similar “laws”. I’ll post one every now and then.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Secret #21g:
“Murphy’s Law states that the best things you do will never
be witnessed by the company director or the audience.”
