Today I picked the subject of Drills and the importance of drilling. Any guesses why I picked this topic? It certainly isn’t because I’ve figured it out or are perfect….I wish! This is something I personally struggle with as does my troupe.

As I have done research and read interviews about some very big name dancers, it is actually refreshing to hear them admit that this can be a problem for themselves as well.

Everyone recognizes Miss Rachel Brice by her beautiful tattoo that wraps around her hip. She explained in an interview that she needed a reminder of the importance of practice. It is written in Sanskrict and from the Yoga Sutra # 1.14 It says

“Practice becomes firmly grounded when well attended to for a long time,

without interruption and with reverent devotion.”
