While other students are trying to assimilate hundreds of pointers, you will see the whole picture in a way you can easily remember by ABCD. You will understand more of what your teachers are telling you, learn faster and take your dancing to a new level.

Practice does not make perfect. Practice makes permanence.

I heard this from a wise dance teacher who warned, that you have to be careful you are practicing skills that will make you better and are not reinforcing bad habits that will make you worse.

Many of you have invested years into the dancing that you love. As long as you have made this commitment, give yourself every opportunity to improve. Be sure you are learning the skills that will help your dancing flourish. Make sure you get better each time you go dancing.
