Customer Review: Not What I expectedI thought there is more on the dvd. This is poor... The "Making of" Is not a Making Of. It is just a little blabla...
It is a new calendar year, but the dancing year is not yet halfway underway. The mid-year lag sets in. If you are a performing dancer, the excitement of the Nutcracker is passed, but the anticipation of recital season is not yet upon you. So how does one stay motivated and even excited about dancing with this mid-year lull?
Here are a few tips:
- Start asking questions about the recital and spring performance. Find ways to build your anticipation early in the year. Consider creating a collage with the performance theme to put in your room.
- Try a new bun style- add a scarf or patterned ribbon (if your teacher will let you) to spruce up your style. A yard of ribbon is usually around $1, and you can cut enough sections to share with your friends!
- Set a goal to achieve in 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months. It might be completing choreography to your favorite song, mastering a double or triple pirouette, or improving your splits.
- Start saving up some money for a new leotard, skirt, or pair of leg warmers. Take an empty jar, paste a picture of your choice item on the front, and start adding to the fund every week until you have saved enough to make your purchase.
- Try adding a new class to your routine. It might be taking a Pilates or yoga class at your local gym or studio, trying an 8-week ballroom dance class, or adding tap, modern, or jazz to your normal ballet schedule.
