Practice doesn't make it perfect

When your in a dance you are constantly compared to the other people in the dance as well. They judge you on everything, your height of your leg extensions, how fast you turn, how well you stay with the others, etc etc. On monday I had ballet. There are only two of us on  that perform the harder part of the dance. We showed the owner and long behold we don't look the same. She has higher leg extensions, but I have the fire behind them.  One downside is that you can not fix how the other people may dance. When I dance I give it my all, but others don't always do the same. Its irritating that people can in turn make the dance look bad. Which leads into Tuesday... On Tuesday my modern class is an interesting mix. Lets just say even our teacher said that some students have two left feet. If two dancers are being compared one dancer could be having all the wrong steps but if they put emotion behind it and have a purpose it will look better than a girl who could do 50 turns, thats called passion and thats what dancers need. I'll leave you with this quote to think about.. "A dancer doesn't just learn the steps, but learns the soul and story of the piece."
