Hahaha I know, it was a "weird" time/experience, but when I look back I didn't mind that the teacher had done that. I didn't even know the examiner; I mean I knew his face, but he wasn't my teacher. I did pass the test🤷🏽♀️.
Yeah, I thought that technique is important with all the arts and true that the best technique doesn't mean a better/the best at the craft, but it's meant to form a good base from which you can experiment further. For example you have classical ballet, from which modern (contemporary) and jazz ballet evolved. With classical ballet the feet and legs are focused on being "turned out", while in modern dance the feet are more paralleled aligned. I also thought good technique to be important aesthetic wise. And so true about arts connecting people and telling stories. For example, I saw this post from @mundomanaure where I didn't understand the language, but I felt the vibe and message they delivered.
I only dance at home at the moment🙈 since last year. We tried training online, but it wasn't for me. I started with classical ballet and along the way got training in modern and jazz and other dance styles. With that good basis it's been easier for me to pick up other styles.
Online music lessons or dance lessons are a bit difficult. It can be done, but it is different, so I understand.. Yes, classical as the basis so other styles come more easier as well. And I checked the post you shared, oh how cool 😎 !! Thanks 👌
My pleasure and enjoy the weekend 😊.
You too 😇💃
