So often, dancers focus with such concentration on mastering technique that they tend to forget the essence of what dance is and why they are participating in it and consequently the result is mechanical looking dancers who are unable to reach out and touch an audience. Of course, learning and perfecting technique is vital but understanding that technique is simply the vehicle that we use to interpret the music and express our feelings is an important lesson for our students to learn. Technique should set us free to be able to concentrate on getting through to our audiences. There is nothing more exhilarating than to feel the audience in sync with you as a performer and to know that you were able, through your movement and expression to give them a moment of joy or sadness or whatever emotion you are trying to portray.
