Saturday Statute #35


Saturday Statute

Happy Saturday! Today’s Statute is an important one:  “There is no complaining in ballet”. Actually, this is a good statute for life: There is no complaining. Period. Complaining makes everyone miserable, especially the person doing the complaining, yet we are all guilty at one time or another.

This statute is closely related to Statute #4: “There is no groaning in ballet” (http://balletwebb.blogspot.com/2013/12/fun-friday-and-groaning.html), but complaining is different because it verbalizes specifically what the complainer is unhappy about – it is essentially detailed groaning. Not good.

So stamp out complaining, and groaning, too. See today’s quote.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Ballet Statute #35:  
“There is no complaining in ballet.”
