People don't realise but there are a lot of comparisons one can make about dancing to everyday life. Respect, consideration & attentiveness to name a few. These are all qualities one should display towards a partner within their dancing just as they should display within themselves towards others as people. Are you a considerate dancer, mindful of your partners experience or are you lost in your own world? Are you attentive not only to your partner but to your surroundings as well or are you oblivious to anything or anyone around you? Do you respect your partner & treat him/her as an equal by allowing them room to interpret & breathe or do you suffocate your partner by enforcing your dominance as a power play? Basically how you dance says a lot about your character. So next time you're on the dance floor, consider being an extension of kindness, love & care. Your partner will thank you for it!

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard. "Success is 99% perspiration, 1% talent". Whether that ratio is accurate or not is not the point. The point is that there's truth to it. The world is full of talented people. Talented people that unfortunately do not see their talents come to full fruition. Of course there no doubt, natural talent & ability does help & in some cases, is the difference between dancers realising their full potential however in most cases whereby the dancer lacks in discipline, consistency & drive, that talent goes nowhere. Instead, dancers that may have less talent but that make up for it with laser like focus, tend to excel better in the long run as talent can only take you so far. Ultimately the best combination are dancers who have both, a combination of raw natural born talent as well as a disciplined approach to mastering their craft. So which are you?
