THINGS I HAVE LEARNED FROM BALLET

This is a page of things I have learned from ballet that I think is very important in dance or even just in life itself. (Newer ones are always at the top)

~As long as you smile the audience won't notice a mistake

~There are only 7 movements in dance-binding, gliding, turning, stretching, jumping, rising and darting.

~it's now sweat, it's glow

~they tell you to spot for a reason

~keep you toe-nails short

~you can't fall off the floor (easily)

~you can tell how you feel but NEVER complain

~don't make excuses

~"Can't" doesn't exist

~You are the one that's dancing, not your teacher

~You can always learn from another dancer, no matter how good or how bad he/she is

~Never think you cannot do a step before you even try it

~The more you learn and practise, the more you can do

~There's always going to be some one better than me, don't get discouraged.

~It is no big deal if someone tell me that I am doing something wrong.

~It is okay to make mistakes

~Never show your anger towards your teacher doesn't matter how unfair they might be

~Most teachers don't put up with silly non-sense

~It is okay to cry but tears don't always solve the problem

~How a dancer felt doesn't matter to a cherographer (from the movie Centerstage)

~Never let my personal or social life affect my dancing

~There's pain involve in dancing

~It is better to do an easier job but do it good than to do a hard job without doing it well.

~It is better to get embarrassd by asking a "stupid" question about a particular dance step than to not know what you are doing and train the wrong muscle
