Tips to beat dance frustration!

Here’s a Frustration Cheat Sheet for Help:

F	Fun!	Don’t forget that dance is supposed to be something you enjoy doing!
R	Relax	The world is not going to end if you can’t get this particular move. Take a moment. De-stress, and then start practicing again.
U	Unite	Are other dancers around you frustrated too? Unite with them to help each other out. Go over your frustrating moves together so you can all feel better about what you’re doing and improve.
S	Share	If you feel like screaming when you get home from rehearsal, punch a pillow and scream! Then, share your frustrations with a friend or family member. You’ll feel better about what you’re doing and be able to calm down a bit so you can move forward.
T	Take a break.	If you work on one particular dance move for a long time, take a break. Get a drink of water. Go outside. Eat a snack. Let your mind wander, and give your body some time off. Then, you’ll be ready to go back into the studio and try again.
R	Rest	Maybe you’ve been working too hard all day, and it’s time to stop already. Go home. Get some sleep, and start over again the next day refreshed and ready to go!
A	Allow yourself to learn.	Don’t get so caught up in not getting a particular dance step that you don’t learn in the process. Allow yourself to make mistakes and learn from them.
T	Take notes.	If you can’t seem to get a particular dance step, take notes. Make a video of yourself doing the moves, have a friend critique you and write down how you can improve.
I	Imagine	Think about yourself doing the steps perfectly in your head. The mental image will help you dance better and keep you in a positive mindset.
O	Own it!	Take control of your body and fail miserably. Dance big, and own the choreography. This way, you, and others, will see what you need to fix. Then, fix it and own your dance moves!
N	Never give up!	Keep trying. Work through your frustration and keep dancing. If you keep practicing, one day, you will just get it…. I promise!
