Saturday Old
Things Statute
It is easy
to become complacent about steps, dance styles and choreography that you have
done thousands of times before. This is when your dancing life is at risk of
becoming stale, and inspiration dries up. It helps to remember Ballet Statute #91: “Think about old things in new ways.”
Teachers and
Directors can help a lot with this, but it is up to each individual dancer to help
themselves, too. Read ballet books and blogs, take class from someone new – or take
an entirely different class like jazz or African if you never have before. Take
an art class! Seek out new things and new ideas.
In other
words, shake things up a bit. Broaden your experience and it will soon be second
nature to thing about old things in new ways.
