Sunday Work and Talent
Today’s motivational thought is somewhat of a hard truth. It
matters little how talented a dancer is, if that dancer doesn’t work. This is
especially true in dance, since the physical skills needed to succeed are,
well, excessive.
I think of “talent” being the ability to act, the ability to
use movement to portray emotion in a way that moves an audience and the ability
to move beautifully. Physical skills, to a large extent, can be taught and
learned, assuming enough motivation exists in the student.
Also, a student doesn’t have to have a perfect body, perfect
extension or perfect turn-out, etc. Almost everything can be achieved – or at least greatly improved - with
time, effort and patience.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Ballet Secret #104:
“Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”
