Superstitious Saturday Early Birds
When it comes to dancer’s rituals,
several categories have emerged. I’ll talk about several of them in future
blogs. Today’s ritual category is The Early Bird. And, I confess, I was (am) one.
This is the dancer who always arrives very
early, whether it is a performance day or just a normal day. This allows time
to prepare both mentally and physically for the tasks to come. I may have
developed this habit due to a requirement by my dance teacher. We had to be at
the barre fifteen minutes before class (and she took roll at this time). Her
statement was “if you are five minutes early, you are already ten minutes late”.
This is well remembered by all of us who trained with her.
Therefore, I became an Early Bird dancer.
It worked well not only because of the extra time for getting the mind and body
ready, but also because it is quieter early, and one can truly relax and
concentrate.
