Classwerk


Dancers have to take class. 

If you are a doctor/lawyer/rocket scientist, you learn your trade and then you (hopefully) keep up on the latest cures/laws/discoveries, but you don’t go to class every morning and plow through the same exercises, day after day. 

There is an old quote. “If you miss class one day. you notice it. If you miss class two days, your teacher notices it. If you miss class three days, the audience notices it. And it is true. Not just physically, but mentally. Dancers are hyper sensitive to their physical state and their mental state. So even though we aren’t currently under contract, our dancers need to keep themselves in shape. As for our trainees, well they are currently taking school classes, but next week I start up the trainee class again. So that means 2 or 3 classes a day for them. 

The life of a dancer.
