What has been the most useful piece of dance advice anyone has ever given you?
For me, this question is fairly easy. My answer isn't something spiritual or inspirational or life changing; it's actually rather simple. It's something I had never been taught before that helped my dancing infinitely. When I was 10 years old, my ballet teacher taught me how to lift up in the core, thereby straightening the back and stabilizing the rest of the body.
So that's my most useful piece of dance advice: Lift your center! What's yours?
"Dance because you love it, dance because you live it, dance because you have nothing to prove, and everything to share." -dancekarl
"Keep dancing, even if a bomb goes off next to you onstage." -Megg Wilson
"When I danced with Judy Jarvis, a modern dancer and choreographer in Canada (now deceased) she told me to dance like my face, or the focus of energy of my presentation, was in the top of my chest. It made everything 'bigger'. It certainly made me feel different dancing." -Diane
These are all really good valid points. Keep 'em coming!
