Thought provoking.... well done!
Thanks a lot for this lecture, we started competition dancing after having retired from our jobs, so guess how old we are. Willing and having time to practice every day at least one hour, there is still the arthritis in our knees and bad posture after 40 years working as a dentist and a lawyer 😂 yes - somtimes we do feel stuck because the problem solving strategy that we used in our jobs was much less physical than intellectual. And that does not help. We talked about our goals and found that the most important thing for us is that we still want to have fun dancing and enjoying our partnership. Dancing will hopefully train our brains and bodies to get older, more healthy than most our age coach potatoes😅 i am not a native speaker, so please excuse my English. Our mind set is: work as much as you can, don't hurt yourself by over training (we are both 66),because if you have injured yourself you want be able to practice at all. If i were still young, I definitely would follow your advices Vaughan. Thank you again.
This speech was Awesome!! Thanks a lot, i appreciate particularly the tip of: every time you practice don't simple do the same thing, but concentrate on cange something, dance is not only ''do the right move" but is tecnique and interpretation too.
Furthermore i appreciate 9:30 , at start you are enthusiastic, then, start to criticise every once of your body because you start to recognize that there is lots of work on tecnique, it's exactly what i'm experiencing right now ahahahah
Thanks A Lot
Thanks a lot for the video. Lately I struggle a lot about how to improve. I feel like I got stuck. I watched several other videos about mindset for dancing and improving and I am getting the idea. Changing the strategy is the key. In your opinion, how should be the rate of lessons / practice (solo or with partner) per week for a person who dance for 3 years and started joining competitions?
Note: I have the handicap that I am Spanish person living in Japan do the lessons sometimes are difficult to understand LOL
The amount you do depends entriely on your end goal and what you want out of your dancing, no one can really tell you how much you should practice because its got to come from you. My coach never had to tell me to practice more. I was the last to leave the studio and had to be told to stop lol. Personally I worked up to 5 privates per week, many group classes each week, medals, dozens of annual competitions, practice 5-6 days per week with about 2 weeks off per year to get to a professional level but I started with one lesson and one class. It is all up to you.
What if your dance partner is your coach, and is not willing to train with you? Except when you pay for your training. I feel like I can practice by myself till I'm blue in the face, but if I don't practice partner dancing with him things won't improve. Any thoughts?
What about trying to find a different practice partner?
So I can't speak to that precisely as I don't know your coach, the structure of things, or how your studio operates. What I can talk about is the definition of a coach. A coach is not a dance partner.
You should pay for the coach's time and knowledge, guidance, and expertise.
A partner is someone you don't pay for and is united by the same goal who will share the cost of lessons and pay for what is needed at their own expense. It's a voluntary act supported by an overarching willingness to go through the stress, struggle, and growth together in your own time. Blurring lines isn't professional and doesn't help.
I have had students say I am their "partner" and I think it was simply a way of complimenting me but I do correct them so they are aware I am their teacher and coach first [even in ProAM] of course I am "partnering them" in medals and competitions to which it is a paid exchange but I'm not actually a partner and they probably would not like me as a partner as that side of me is a very different animal to the teacher role lol. It's my job to impart technique and knowledge through dance but not my job to dance with them every lesson, all lessons - they need to do that work themselves or find a partner who will too. I will of course dance with my students but not the way I did with Alison.
In many of my videos, you will see Brittany, a terrific student of mine who I have taught from day 1. She does the work - every day she trains, she does 2-3 lessons a week and a group class as well, plus she is a new teacher. With all this work she wouldn't consider me her partner and rightly so it's a student/teacher relationship at work in the best way.
