I've Learned...

As long as you smile, the audience won't notice a mistake

They tell you to spot for a reason

Keep your toenails short

You can't fall off the floor (easily)

Practice makes permanent You can always learn from another dancer, no matter how good or how bad s/he is

Never think you cannot do a step before you even try it

The more you learn and practice, the more you can do

There's always going to be some one better than you, don't get discouraged

Learn from the dancer in front of you

Anything worth doing is worth doing well

Go for quality, and then go for quantity

Drink water

Be the best you can be - that's all they can ever ask of you

Eat well, sleep well, dance well

How to budget

Be patient with cheerleaders and people who do not dance

How to manage time efficiently

Thank your teachers, parents, drivers - be gracious

Creative solutions often turn out better than expected.

The show must go on!
