Fun Friday Fallacy
There are many myths and sayings in
ballet. And some of them are just not true – they are fallacies. The definition
of fallacy is: “a mistaken belief,
especially one based on unsound argument.”
One of these unsound beliefs is the
saying “no pain no gain”. We all know that ballet training is difficult and at
times uncomfortable but pain is your body telling you that
something is wrong. I tell my students there is a difference between pain and
discomfort. I think of pain as severe
physical discomfort. It is well beyond uncomfortable.
Therefore, there is no progress without
sometimes feeling discomfort. But severe physical discomfort – pain – is simply
not right. What we need is a catchy phrase for that.
