Because here’s the truth: no matter what you’re practicing, you’re going to be doing it “wrong”.
You’re a brand new dancer and you’re practicing your Waltz box. You’re all proud of yourself as you walk into the studio for your next lesson because you can totally do your box step to music. Your teacher is happy to hear, see, and feel that you practiced, but guess what? Now you learn there’s a thing called “rise and fall”.
Because you didn’t know about rise and fall last week, you were practicing that Waltz incorrectly.
Was your practice a waste of time?
HELL NO!
Even if you practiced your Waltz box ass backward, you were still moving and thinking about your dancing, which is HUGE. And if you have a consistent practice schedule, you’ll be able to fix any actual wrongness in no time (like those heel leads on 3 [btw, stop it]).
[And in the above example, you are doing an actual step, just not one you know yet.]
Do you think it would be better if you sat on the couch and didn’t try a step? Some of you do!
Stop the insanity!
Please stop worrying about doing things wrong, and just do them.
Your teacher and your skill level will thank you.
