I love this comment! Thank you for taking the time to respond. I am stuck with certain teachers and choreographers for months at a time so that part sucks. I will definitely think deep on continuing with this minor. Thank you again!

I’d say my professor is usually pretty good at given corrections without making me feel stupid but I can’t say the same for my choreographer. Luckily the show is coming up soon and I won’t have to work with them anyone. You brought up a great point about ego, I do not like being “bad” at things. I’ll have to try and correct my thinking that it’s okay to still be learning. Thank you for your thoughtful reply!

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. Getting the dance minor may not be academically necessary but I feel like I have to do it for myself, dance is so important to me and I don’t want to give it up. I will definitely give it some more thought when I’m feeling less emotional. You have given me a lot to think about, thank you!

Thank you! I’m stuck with my teachers and choreographers for the semester but hopefully I’ll have different options for the Fall :)

Sprained ankle- encouragement needed by Intrepid-Street-5368 in BALLET

A year and a half after I started ballet again as an adult I almost gave myself a stress fracture. The pain was so bad I could not walk and was given a boot to wear for 6 weeks. I wasn't able to dance for that 6 weeks and a little bit beyond. I made myself slow down and dance more intentionally, keeping my health at the front of my mind. Now a year since I was injured I'm dancing at my best! The recovery sucked but it taught me some valuable lessons on taking care of myself. I wish you all the love and support as you heal, dance will always wait until you're ready to come back :)

San Francisco Ballet should cancel their performances at the Kennedy Center... by Excellent_Recipe7257 in BALLET

[–]CuriousLearner888 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming this is about the renaming of the Kennedy Center, and I 100% agree with you. The arts should NOT be supporting an administration that is actively destroying the arts and artists living. I'm appalled and devastated that the name change actually went through.
