dancingleafStolen off a thread on Bhuz....
a valuable bit of advice. - something I should be thinking about....
There are a couple of exercises I use with my private students, to help them figure out what kind of dancer they want to be when they grow up.
1. You've just danced in a show. You're in a stall in the ladies room and a couple of women come in (dancers or GP), discussing your show. What 3 things would you like to hear them say?
2. If you had a magic dance wand that would grant you 3 dance wishes, what would they be?
The responses to both of these exercises usually clearly indicate where the student's focus should be.
