I have learned that owning my mistakes publicly is an important part of moving forward. Sometimes I use humor to soften the blow. Another very important thing I have learned is to make the next dance a great dance. Something fun, with guaranteed success. Our mistakes bother us more that they bother most dancers.
My belief is that we are hired to help the dancers have a good time. One or two little mistakes will not destroy our efforts, and even a major mistake need not be taken out of the context of an overall successful evening. (BTW, these are truths that I am still learning) Rich Sbardella Stafford, CT On Mon, Nov 6, 2017 at 11:10 AM, Maia McCormick via Callers < [email protected]> wrote: > So after a gig, I find myself haunted by one or two missteps from an > evening — the rolling start that was a little muddy, the thing I didn’t > teach clearly enough so the dancers never quite got it — even though the > dancers adjusted and all had a good time, and I still had the hall’s trust > and goodwill at the end of the evening. > > Is this a familiar experience for anyone?
