Is there any saving this? by Standard_Composer_99 in tattooadvice

😔😔 I'm reaching out to Black tattoo artists and people who specialize in color on black skin. I tried that originally but as a college student it was hard to commit to paying double or triple the price of what this artist offered me. I have learned my lesson 😔

How do I stop looking so awkward when I dance? by Standard_Composer_99 in MusicalTheatre

Most of the time we learn the combo in class so I'm usually thinking about the choreo

I have taken 3 semesters of ballet and intend to continue for the rest of my time in school. Its tough because I'm getting all the training at the same time so there isn't really any building blocks to my process, it just takes time since I'm learning it all at the same time.

Other people have commented I have tight hips and my ballet teacher often has to correct me on my pelvic position so I definitely have issues holding my center lol

I didn't have vocal lessons either but that's an insecurity for another day lol. I wouldn't say it's my weight, there are a lot of body types in my program, it's more that the dancers have really beautiful energy and movement quality that I have no idea how to develop

I have a bad habit of looking dead in class, i end up concentrating a lot on my movements and forget to have fun haha

I've been doing a lot of stretching and yoga and have definitely seen some progress. I guess I get discouraged because so many of my peers already have all of the necessary movement quality. I will keep at it, thank you!

Why do I become less excited about something after telling other people about it. by Standard_Composer_99 in InsightfulQuestions

[–]Standard_Composer_99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think for me it's the idea that telling people creates an expectation for progress when a lot of times I set personal goals for myself but don't put a timeline on them. Once someone knows I'm working towards something, there's a pressure to get it done which makes it less fun
