Saturday Murphy Again
Here is yet another gem from the
collection of Murphy’s Laws for Dancers: “The
technique always seems better on the other side of the barre.”
That’s right. Just as the grass is
always greener on the other side of the fence, it often seems that everyone
else is doing better than you are. We all have days like that. But take heart!
It simply isn’t true – it’s just an illusion (like so many other things in
ballet).
I know you’ve heard that dancers need to
compete only with themselves, but when you glance across the barre and see
someone with impressive turnout or line or extension, this directive flies out
the window. Right? Well! Bring it back and put your focus on your own technique
and on other dancers as inspiration,
not a cause for perspiration.
It takes constant effort, but it’s worth
it.

Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Murphy’s Law #147:
“The technique always seems better on the other side
of the barre.”

Law states that,
"If anything will go wrong, it will".
Positive side of this law is,
"If anything good can happen, it definitely will happen”
