Sensational Saturday Statute
Today’s statute applies to anything an individual sets out
to do, or to study. It is particularly true for dance, however, and it is
something I say to students who are habitually off-task.
If you are going to take a class, learn a language, write a
book, or even prepare a recipe, it must be undertaken with a certain degree of
seriousness. This doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. It means it can’t be frivolous
or silly.
In a dance class, if a student is always talking or
distracted or otherwise disengaged, the result can be worse than simply failing
to learn. Since dance is a physical skill, it requires attention – not only to
improve technique but to prevent injuries or accidents. If one is learning a
language via computer, there is little chance of that. But anything a human
being wants to learn requires effort.
Therefore, today’s Ballet Statute # 46 states: “Take it seriously, or don’t take it.”
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Statute #46:
“Take it seriously, or don’t take it.”
