Silly Saying #97
Here we go
again with another Silly Saying. The dance world is full of them, and they are
(mostly) true – or close.
Today’s
saying is one every dancer has heard: “One more time.” This is usually more
hopeful than factual. One more time seldom
happens because there are mistakes in every repetition that must be corrected (nothing
is ever perfect). Therefore it becomes “one more time” again.
So this
saying is true – usually. Occasionally - very occasionally - there is the rare
event of a rehearsal being close to perfection, and the “one more time” that
day was actually true.
But this
almost never happens.
From the Big Blue Book of Ballet Secrets
Silly Saying #97:
“One more time is always a lie.”
