Mistakes are nothing but learning opportunities. There is just no way to get it all right at once, and even pros stumble on occasion. As long as you give yourself the chance to try again, even to fail again, you will eventually get better. Like you said :) <br /><br />Thanks for your comment!Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-40592620601217538822012-10-21T15:22:41.520+03:002012-10-21T15:22:41.520+03:00Rori, you are so spot on.

I was once again reminded/reprimanded on what is still going wrong. Not that I didn't know already. But that's ballet for you, no time to rest on your laurels!<br /><br />Clean, controlled doubles.. I know that feeling, it's so awesome!

Sometimes we get so caught up in what's going wrong that it's nice to have someone help us step back and see the big picture and how far we've come. <br /><br />That said, it is frustrating to not know why the body won't do what the mind is willing. Especially when it's so seemingly random.

I hate that my body performs better at home. I get to class and I am so "aware" and nervous to screw up that everything can fall apart. That is why I vowed to let my insecurities go and allow myself to make mistakes.

Mä oon huomannut että piruetti hajoaa usein sen jälkeen kun on ollut yllättävän hyvä putki päällä. Pää on jo pilvessä triploista, ja sitä rupeaa saman tien haaveilemaan nelosista - ja sitten mennäänkin jo metsään. <br /><br />Kokenut tanssija hallitsee Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-26539071203861572602012-10-17T14:09:33.933+03:002012-10-17T14:09:33.933+03:00Mä NIIN ymmärrän.

Omat oikean puolen en dehors piruettini ovat olleet kateissa jo toista viikkoa, enkä ole ainoa uhri...<br /><br />Kuten sanoit, niin pitkään harrastaneena ei voi kuin ihmetellä, miten piruetit saattavat välillä kadota.
