LoverOfDance Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) I went to dance class yesterday and it was really horrible(my performance I mean). It is so hard for me to get the choreography right and to focus in class. Sometimes I get it but then I forget it at the end. I'm finding myself wanting to just go home and do nothing but wait for the next class when I can hopefully get it right and do better(even though I have a lot of other things to do). Sometimes I don't even sleep because I'm too anxious for the next class. I know I'm torturing myself but I'm nowhere as good as I want to be yet and I can't quit now. I won't let myself quit. But I know I'm suffering more than I ever have in my entire life. My body, mind and spirit are going through so much pain and restlessness. I don't know what to do. How do I handle this without considering the option of giving up? Edited October 11, 2012 by LoverOfDance
CarrieT Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 Have an open and frank discussion with your instructor. Explain your fears and concerns and get an HONEST assessment of your abilities, potential, and expectations. You might want something that you are physically incapable of or you might be close to a breakthrough to the level of expertise you desire. But you need someone else to help you with that assessment.
