Saturday Ready

Saturday Ready

“Be ready”. Here is a Ballet Statute that can go in many directions. Webster’s Dictionary defines “ready” as: 1. Prepared for immediate use or action; 2. willing; 3. immediately available, handy; and 4. prompt, facile, quick.

In a dance class, all definitions of ready are essential. Come into class with a heightened awareness, a willingness to work and a readiness to learn and absorb as much as possible. Be ready when the music starts and the dance combination is about to begin.

When moving across the floor be ready when your turn comes, and don’t hesitate. The teacher or accompanist should never have to start over because a dancer wasn’t ready.

Be quick to learn combinations, and be willing to accept corrections. Be available, both mentally and physically during class.

When you think about it, today’s Ballet Statute could easily be a life statute. Hmmm.
