Terrific Tuesday Blinders
Most people are familiar with a horse wearing blinders (see
above photo). The blinders are designed
so the horse isn’t distracted by things around him, and instead focuses
only on the road straight ahead.
This is a good image for dancers. In the classroom, it can be difficult to
leave one’s problems outside and have that laser focus necessary for daily
progress. So remember the horse in today’s
photo. Dance as though you have mental
blinders on and put all your effort inside the classroom and on
everything that is going on during class. Leave everything else outside.
Whenever you feel yourself being distracted, remember the horse. It may also make you smile.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Secret #7bb:
“Take class with blinders on – concentrate only on what you need to do
and ignore distractions.”

“You
simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders
on and plow right ahead.”
