I can't think of a title for this post because I have poor command of the English language and thus have issues expressing myself at times.

Kkkk whatever. I'm back on blogging. I had been contemplating to blog again as people I don't know have been reading my blog. Which is a good thing because some reader told me that my ballet posts are interesting.... I don't really think so but I was so encouraged soo heeeeee heeee... Here I am :)

Anyway... I was thinking about whether the teaching of character, morals, and/ or values are necessary when training to dance.

(And yes, obviously something spurred me to write this post but not telling you what :D)

In my personal opinion... (ONCE AGAIN, LET ME REITERATE THAT THIS IS MY PERSONAL OPINION. YOU MAY STATE YOUR OPPOSING VIEWPOINT BY POSTING A COMMENT.) the teaching of character, morals and/or values are not necessary. Not necessary meaning that they can still be taught, but it isnt compulsory.

Why??? Because it's a training for dance. Time should not be wasted by telling the dancers about how they should be ________________________(insert good moral or good character or good value here).

Of course it is necessary to have determination, perseverance, endurance, respect, commitment etc etc etc... But all these are already embedded in a passionate dancer :)

You may say those other morals or character or values (let's call them MCV for short) are just as important if we wanna be a successful dancer... Well yes, but only to a small extent. It's only extremely important if you want to succeed in life :)


I shall share a video of Viktoria Tereshkina, principal danncer of the Mariinsky Ballet dancing the Aurora variation to end of this post :)
