Learning to Fly
The other night while I was teaching I started thinking about how to get yourself to the place where you are still working on your technique but not dancing as a technician.I can
see all my students dissecting themselves in the mirror and agonizing
over that releve arabesque that was just not quite square and
think....ahhh they are missing the beauty and passion of the moment. Then-it happens, even if just for a brief moment the dancer feels it! She moves through technique not forcing technique. Part of me goes back to the great Merce Cunningham quote " The only way to do it, is to do it". Maybe it is that simple! Maybe we all make it to be so much harder than just that.
