And for that reason, it was suggested by some that I speak to this dancer to give them an idea of professional rehearsal etiquette. If you can use my exploration of the idea of reframing thinking to have a more positive outlook on your own life and career goals, I feel that you can benefit from this, as well. With patience and attention, you can find the best company that offers the right position for you. And then right then and there, almost as if I had been hit by a bus, I realized that I wasn’t looking at the situation from any rational perspective. And while there are always new dreams and achievements that I want to attain, I am actually living my dream right now. Before you go to an agency for your search, you want to ask for recommendations from family, friends, and colleagues who have children as well. If any interaction becomes tense, dancers can retreat into their clique for comfort or hide behind other dancers who are more willing to stand their ground.

But if we can take control of how we frame our life and career experiences in our minds, we can benefit greatly from this. I realized I needed to reframe my thinking because I want to take in all of the amazing experiences that I am having and be as in the moment as I possibly can. I firmly believe that one of the best analytical qualities that we share is the ability to reframe life experiences in order to make a dialogue fit in better with our story. I needed to reframe my thinking. This new dancer became a stressor for other dancers as they were acting in ways that went way beyond the etiquette of most professional environments. Rehearsal etiquette is one of the many unspoken areas of our silent art form. First things first, the way you act in a rehearsal studio as a student is completely different than when you are a professional.

There is no particular way that each and every rehearsal studio is run. But in a small company, there is nowhere to hide, very little hierarchy, and everybody has to interact frequently with one another in the studio. In a bigger company, dancers often feel more comfortable being up front (if not, sometimes, mean) when trying to streamline a young dancer into their place in the unique culture of a professional company. In this company, many of the dancers looked up to me and respected my work. And while the other dancers with more experience didn’t approve of this behavior, the director and ballet mistress chose to allow it to continue. At that very moment, I reversed the natural stream of thoughts that roll through my head and chose to look at things differently. In my current situation, it was almost a bit too natural for me to look at recent happenings and tell myself that things are difficult because I haven’t yet succeeded in reaching my end career goals. I am not in any bad situation, at all. 2. Take advantage of free advertising on your community. By noon the prior four days started to take its toll, and I was having a headache.

Sit back, relax, grab a notepad so you remember all of this, and then scroll down to get started. I let it sit for 30 seconds or so and then dried it out because I didn’t want it just sitting in my ear. And, I don’t want to go through that again. A lot of people are searching for a better opportunity to stay and work from home. Although the major energy savings can be seen by installing double pane windows, improving insulation and getting energy efficient appliances, you can see a lot of improvement from small changes as well. Very energetic blog, I enjoyed that a lot. But at the same time, there are general no-no’s (and yes-yes’) that are taught within the culture of a company as they create, fine-tune, and prepare a work for the stage. After watching this type of situation from the other side, as a senior dancer, I was taught a lesson in kindness, patience, and humility. It was a generally difficult situation to endure.
