Saturday Silly Saying


Saturday Silly Saying

Here we go again with another Silly Saying. This one could apply to people other than dancers, too. Here it is: “The best (dance)things you do will never be seen by a director, teacher, or the audience.” I will go one step further (no pun intended), and add that the best dance moves usually occur in one’s kitchen – and when no one else is around.

My dancer friends and I have discussed this phenomenon, and wondered if kitchens have some magical force that allows for extended balances, and multiple pirouettes. Maybe it has something to do with all those appliances?

It undoubtedly has more to do with the fact that in one’s own kitchen a dancer is simply more relaxed and therefore able to do things that wouldn’t happen in stressful or judgmental situations. Just a thought.

From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:

Ballet Silly Saying #43:  
“The best (dance)things you do will never be seen by a , teacher or the audience.”
