The easiest way to stop this is practice in front of a mirror - we bought a cheap mirror on a stand & dd put it in what ever room she was dancing in - she could look in the mirror & see her mistakes without looking down, took a month to stop the looking down without the mirror - she now teaches little ones & tells them to practice at home in front of a mirror. Know several big schools that have dance classes in mirrored rooms for same reason -- For the love of the dance

[> she may not even realise that she does it... we video our dancers 'trying their best' then play it back to them so they can see what we see. .. then they try it again conscious of the fact that they have to address XX issue... has helped so far, and the little ones just love to see themselves on film..lol.. personally not a fan of mirrors in the studio - little ones tend to be distracted by their own reflection and seem to'go off with the fairies'.. without mirrors they focus more.... mirrors tend to work better for home practices... but thats just been our experiences. -- Lee in Darwin, Tue, Apr 03 2007, 1:16:58 [1]
