I'm going to help you practice at ballet, and make sure you do it right.
I wanted to talk to you about properly practicing
ballet. There are a lot of people that want to be a professional at
this type of dance. They want to learn it and they want to learn it
fast. There are a lot of people that spend an entire lifetime learning
this and they aren't that good at it, but the good news is that there
are a lot of little things you can take advantage of to help make you
better. Ballet isn't hard, it just requires a very specific type of
work ethic that is hard to find in the ballet community. I'm going to
talk to you about properly practicing ballet.
The first thing you
need to understand is that you have to go see your teacher and get a
lesson everyday. It's important to making progress every single day.
Missing days will only slow you down. But once a day isn't enough. When
you come home, you have to practice too. Practicing at home can be more
detrimental, so you have to do one specific thing; practice in front of
a mirror. You have to be able to see yourself from a third party view.
This is the only way to make sure you're doing things properly.
Properly
practicing ballet also requires you to repeatedly doing the same
physical movements over and over again. It seems stupid at first, but
this type of training has been proven effective in martial arts. They
do the same moves over and over and over again, until it is engrained
in the muscles. After a while, you'll just act instead of having to
think about it.
