| Posted: 13 Apr 2015 11:53 AM PDT It's nice that you've called this 'teenage problems', because I can assure you that this kind of self-doubt is normal at this stage in your life at school. I'm 17, so it wasn't long ago at all for me; trust me!! And even though it sounds like a little teenage issue that isn't worth thinking about, I do understand that it can get you feeling down when you'd otherwise be perfectly okay. I had a similar situation; I'm the type of person that often doubts myself and I worry quite a lot that I'm not very good at things, not smart enough, not capable. I'm just a little insecure, bit the ONE thing I had never doubted my ability for was English. From creative writing to letters, articles, or analyzing a book, I had always been praised for my abilities and I took comfort in the fact that my confidence lay in my talent. Teachers often put a lot of praise on a kid if they show some ability in something more than others. That's what they did for me in English and for you with Dance. But it's not the real world unfortunately. In the real world, and in higher education, they will work you hard and make you better, being careful not to tell you that you're perfect because you aren't; you can always improve. Your teachers are trying to help you, and if you get a set-back, it should be an incentive to work a little harder. Don't worry about not being the best in your jazz class. It's natural to have to realise at some stage that you aren't always going to be on top! But at some point you have to learn to measure yourself by your own standards, not next to other people. Then you'll just give up thinking that you're unworthy. Improve to become better than YOU were before, not better than your classmates. With your grades, it's the same. School will always get harder, it needs to for you to be able to progress. Don't get yourself down; just do the best you can. It's completely normal for your grades to fluctuate as you progress in school. You just need to keep up with what you're learning and step yourself up with the rising difficulty of the work. Your mum does have a normal attitude, because she understands that it's not the end of the world just like I do. It may seem as if she's ignoring your frustration, but she has the benefit of hindsight, so she knows it's only natural at your stage to be feeling a bit insecure. And she probably doesn't remember how dramatic it felt at the time, lol!! What I'm basically saying is not to let minor set backs make you give up on working hard and doing well!!  |

| Question: Can i learn to dance moves with a full speed video and no break downs ? Posted: 13 Apr 2015 06:09 AM PDT It would probably be a lot harder to learn a dance like that, because most people do not pick up dance moves straight away/easily from watching someone perform full speed. Personally, I would recommend finding a similar video that has breakdowns of each step/move. But, If you are confident that you can do It, Then go for it! You may as well try for yourself and see If you can do it. As for the time it takes; It depends on the difficulty of the dance and your skills. Hope this helped and good luck ^^ |
| Question: How much ballet can you learn in a year? Posted: 13 Apr 2015 05:18 AM PDT Yes, ballet will help but it takes years not a year to build strong ballet technique. I suggest you go to a school that is primarily ballet focus and does not have a million other dance genres. Stay away from competition dance schools as they teach tricks over proper form and that won't be helpful for what you want. If there is a professional ballet company near where you live that has a preprofessional affiliate feeder school, often they offer open classes to dancers that is not part of their preprofessional program. Schools like that tend to offer the best training and facilities and often even cost less than small studios. You should start by taking 2-3 classes a week for the first few months and see if you can add more ballet classes to that as you gain technique and stamina. You have to start in a beginner class to get anything out of it. Bottom line you are still going to be a beginner in ballet for the first few years even if you took multiple classes daily. That portends not a really great chance for a scholarship unless you were born very gifted with a dancers body, great amounts of facility and strong musicality. But without gifts for dance even if you started training as a young child you would not likely get a scholarship either. You will need both the training and the right gifts to stand a chance of this working for you. Good luck! EDIT: just wanted to add that ballet training is not so much about learning what the steps are, but in executing them properly by building the muscles to be able to accomplish that. That just takes time. |
| Question: Anybody know the name of this dance? Posted: 12 Apr 2015 11:34 PM PDT I feel silly for asking this...but I remember learning this one dance a few years ago, but I only remember the beginning part. I don't remember the name of it, else I'd look up a tutorial, but it starts like this: -partners hold hands with extended arms -partners come in and touch left shoulders together -go out and come back in and touch right shoulders together -go out again, then each partner puts their left arm behind their head without letting other partner's hands go -let go of hands, then slide back so right hands go down each right arm and hold right hands -spin first partner, then spin second partner I don't remember beyond that. Can anyone tell me what this dance is called, or how to finish it? Thank you! |
