Guest Terin Posted July 17, 2003 Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 I'm 14, but this is only my fourth year of dance. Because of my age, I've been pushed ahead a little more than is normal at my school. During the summer there's a set of classes which goes all week. Because of other obligations, I'm only taking the Friday class; after everyone has already learned the exercises. Throughout the class I have to concentrate on getting the steps right and improving my technique- and my arms are what really suffer. When I'm concentrating on my feet, I tend to just forget about the arms and they start to droop. Is there anyway I can keep my arms up to standard while still focusing on my feet?

Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted July 17, 2003 Administrators Report Share Posted July 17, 2003 Hello Terin, welcome to the Young Dancers' forum on Ballet Alert! Online I don't really see how anything can be accomplished in once a week classes, and especially in a situation where the rest of the class is there every day. Sorry Summer Intensive courses are meant to be intensive and therein lies the most benefit. Once a week just won't do it. Try to rearrange your schedule! Quote Link to comment
Guest Terin Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Thanks for the advice, Ms. Leigh. I wish I could rearrange my schedule... I agreed to volounteer at my school before the schedule for summer dance classes came out. When it finally did, I was disappointed, to say the least. But I decided that just one was better than nothing. Thanks again for all your help. Quote Link to comment
