The Forever Dancer

And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.

THIS IS SO IMPORTANT

I’m making a playlist for a jazz class I’m teaching. Anyone got any suggestions??

[Dale Lam @asiantimebomb]

Please.. DANCE teachers let’s go SLOWER ... let’s take the time to demand the tiny details that are missing yes they are tedious yes they aren’t glamorous .. but those are what make a beautiful body line ... we are skipping way too many steps SLOW DOWN

[The Forever Dancer @forevradancer]

What happened to choreography with actual steps?? Everything is just dramatic arm movements, rolling around on the floor, and maybe a turn section

[The Forever Dancer @forevradancer]

A play, a musical, and a ballet are three different things. They are not interchangeable

[Dance @ballerinatwerk]

I really wish choreographers thought their choreography through. For the kids. The minors. The non-adults. Does your 13 year old need to hump the floor? Does your 11 year old boy need to sexily remove the skirt from a 10 year old girl? Does your 8 year old need stripper moves?...

Things I'm bad at:
•math
•fouettés
•hip hop
•life in general
•ANYTHING ON THE LEFT SIDE

Jealousy isn’t going to get you anywhere. Neither is complaining. Life is unfair and sometimes you just have to suck it up and keep working hard. That’s the way it is.

According to a study, practicing classical ballet might lead to increased wisdom.

I’ve never known anything but full out. I honestly owe a huge thank you to my mentors and teachers over the years because now it’s habit. Work ethic is cool kids. The harder you work, the better the work.

[The Forever Dancer @forevradancer]

Don't skip dance class and then cry when you don't get placed well in a dance. Commitment is part of putting a show together.

Someone needs to make pointe shoes that don't hurt 😭

[The Forever Dancer @forevradancer]

Dance is so hard but we tell stories with our bodies! We are art! We are dancers and that's what we do. ♥

What do people have against tights like I’d rather see you wear tights than have your entire butt hanging out of your costume

[The Forever Dancer @forevradancer]

The only times you should yell during a dance at a comp:

When the dance is announced
When the dance is finished
When someone does something hard/impressive

Anything else is just distracting and annoying

[The Forever Dancer @forevradancer]

When picking out costumes you have to think about all of the body types you have in the dance

[The Forever Dancer @forevradancer]

Nothing like a good day at dance to brighten your day

[The Forever Dancer @forevradancer]

How are you gonna complain about everyone else not being on time with the music when you’re not even on time with the music

[The Forever Dancer @forevradancer]

There's always that one friend who steals all your bobby pins
