Well, I was too tall to be a dancer anyway, so "no harm done" :P<br /><br />Jarmo was substitute a couple of times for us, those classes were quite energetic! <br /><br />...memories! :)iepukkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135426646463980680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-88803661676038952692011-04-09T23:45:02.092+03:002011-04-09T23:45:02.092+03:00It could be interesting to dance ballet to the flu...It could be interesting to dance ballet to the flute :)<br /><br />Oh, you mean Arja? I never got to take class with her, but I did with Jarmo! A year ago he was still occasionally teaching at Tanssivintti. But I had my first experience with him some ten+ years ago. He was still really fit back then, and a great turner. Also got once taste of PDD, when Jammu lifted me in jete tournant :) He´s Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-80351082646523416332011-04-09T21:08:20.960+03:002011-04-09T21:08:20.960+03:00I'll read it Now :)
My instrument is flute, ...I'll read it Now :) <br /><br />My instrument is flute, a hobby that turned into my profession (because I didn't know how to stop, haha...). I do play a tiny bit of piano, but not good enough to accompany (except sometimes my youngest pupils).<br /><br />Unfortunately my old teacher isn't teaching here anymore, don't know if she's anywhere else either.

Did you read the first part,...And you are so right! Did you read the first part, "Late starts"? Without musicality, dance becomes nothing but exercise to music. You could just as well put a metronome in the corner! If the teacher is good, I don´t really count, but listen to the music. That should tell me all I need to know..<br /><br />I can believe that it is even harder for you, being a musician.

In my opinio...Intensive text again, I like it! :) <br /><br />In my opinion, musicality is equally important in dancing as technique. Of course one can manage with just counting numbers & bars of the music, but it leaves something out. And as I am a musician, it feels even more important ;) I get very irritated in classes, if it's not clearly said for example if we start on the 1st beat or just before iepukkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135426646463980680noreply@blogger.com
