SDL 002 : The problems with being a GOOD Street Dancer

Show Notes: So these are just a co8uple of things that I wanted to share from overall experience in street dance. I am sure there are many more and is so I will include it in a later episode It is sometimes hard to make real friends when you get good at street dance or when you are in a position of authority and the potential friends are interested in your area of expertise Going out clubbing/hanging out and then asking questions it is great to be friends with an instructor Working in a food place people will expect free food Mum and theatre tickets Even in a crew scenario, people often want to side with people they think are good, not because they genuinely want to be your friend. It is hard to find the right partner when they experience you being good at street dance Alpha male those same people would most likely not have spoken to you if they did not see you dance Some people are looking for trophy partners and when people see you do your thing you will attract those people Not always Be wary of people who have seen you do what you do and come up to you and start talking to you - there is usually an agenda Ride the wave You can go through what I call dancers drought where things just don't go your way or you feel like you are not progressing I will be doing a podcast with tips to get out of this type of situation In a nutshell, if you go against it you can end up feeling really down. Your brain and creativity sometimes need rest, and when you force it and you don't produce you can take it out on your self Sometimes you will do well. Sometimes you wont 37th freestyle would be great just doing it for the love and the dance If you don't look after your body you will get injured. Common things I see are people having to "leave early" from classes without stretching Thinking you will be "ok" without stretching Not increasing the intensity of their stretches as they increase the intensity of their dance People not having tight shoes when they dance Links ss4a.com/2 ss4a.com/ask ss4a.com/special
