Wacky Wednesday Move or
Stay
In every exercise, dancers
have a choice. They can move or stay. I do not mean literal across- the-floor
kind of movement, but the more cerebral kind. Moving forward – progressing.
Any dance class offers the
opportunity to maintain one’s technique, simply by “doing the class”. But to
progress, to further improve technique, requires a different kind of focus and
a more concerted effort.
I’ve talked about it
before. Simply doing what you’ve always done maintains technique – but that’s
it. To really improve, extra effort is required: stretch a little further,
balance a little longer, etc. Without this, a dancer will never move beyond the
technique they have right now. Scary.
So every day, remember you
have a choice: to move forward, or stay put.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets:
Dance History Factoid # 94

between moving or staying.”
