The easiest thing in the world to do is COMPLAIN. How many times have you been in a rehearsal for a piece and everything is going wrong? Dancers are frustrated; the choreographer is at a stand still, time is running out. As soon as the 5 minute break is called it’s like a “letting out of the bulls”. The dressing room air fills with petty complaints-all of which seem to be totally justified.
Today's note is RESIST THE URGE TO COMPLAIN! Imagine what it would be like to spend your breaks catching up on phone calls, resting, or grabbing a snack rather than getting caught up in the obvious complications of a given day in rehearsal? Spending that down time productively will serve you well. Let those in charge work out the kinks and you do your part as a dancer-DANCE!
If you make a habit of resisting the urge to complain you will find yourself focusing on the work at hand and accomplishing the original goal of each job given. And, you are more likely to be hired on a more continual basis since you are a hard worker and maintain a positive and supportive attitude.
RESIST THE URGE TO COMPLAIN!
