Super Saturday Saying
The dance world is full of advice, secrets, statutes, and
sayings. I haven’t featured sayings before, but from now on you will
occasionally find these on Saturday blogs.
Today’s saying is a classic. It is true not only in ballet,
but in all endeavors and art forms that require regular, devoted practice. Here it is:
“If you miss one class you notice, if you miss two the teacher notices,
if you miss three the audience notices.”
The audience noticing is particularly scary, but the first
two are sobering as well. We all know the feeling of missing a class and
feeling just a little bit off during the
next class. It is the curse of all physical training. You can’t take off the “red
shoes” (movie and fairy tale reference) and maintain a decent technical level.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Saying #37:
“If you miss one class you notice, if you miss two the teacher notices,
if you miss three the audience notices.”
