Emeralds Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Great article, and it has useful tips for anyone in any field, not just dance. In dance and other branches of the performing arts, it’s always a learning process to balance the need to spot mistakes and improve, but not to be so overly critical that it becomes destructive eg “I’m terrible”, “I’m useless” when one should be thinking, “That was ok but I need to do X with my foot” or “I can be better if I do Y next time”. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glowlight Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I am so grateful that my dd's childhood ballet teacher introduced her to auditions as a fun day out, to be enjoyed with friends. She set the expectation that being there was the experience, and if you got chosen, that was a lucky bonus. Obviously as dd got older it got more serious but it was a very good grounding to start from. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
