Gabrielle Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) When performing on stage, is it better to be the "ballerina" that everyone notices or should everyone be the same? I'm just not sure! Thanks Edited January 28, 2008 by Gabrielle Quote Link to comment

Mel Johnson Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 You can't, but I just did. A parent here on the Young Dancers' board. Only the students and the teacher/moderators may post here. Now, as to the question. If you are a soloist, then when you are dancing alone, you are supposed to stand out. If you dance in and out of a corps position, you must conform your movements to the corps. If you are in the corps, you must be like a cog in a gear. As far as the choreography will allow, you have to dance just like everyone else. Quote Link to comment
Gabrielle Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Ohhh! Now I understand a bit more of how the boards work! Anyway, thank you for the advice! I'm just a little bit worried that I will stand out, because I am about a foot shorter than everyone else! Also, I am the youngest in my class! But, hey, there's no way of controlling that, so it's no use worrying. Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Height? Shucks, no! As you say, there's nothing you can do about that, so why be concerned? Besides, it usually works in your favor. It usually puts you in the front line of the corps. Quote Link to comment
Gabrielle Posted January 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) Oh I never thought of that! Front row! Thanks! P.S. I am used to dancing with younger kids, where I am about their height, but I'm in a new class! Edited January 28, 2008 by Gabrielle Quote Link to comment
