The rewards of dancing are very different from choreographing.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If I didn't believe in myself as a dancer, I wouldn't choreograph.
Dance is a physical and mental workout. Once you get your body moving, you'll see a difference.
Dance is a very disciplining career or hobby. I was disciplined at an early age.
With dancing, so much is about sexuality and sensuality and without life experience it becomes much more of a performance, rather than a living, breathing entity from the soul.
There is something so rewarding about dancing. It's almost spiritual - you let loose, you feel free, you get endorphins from the exercise.
For a performer, passion is far more important than technical skills. If a dancer's leg isn't at a perfect angle, I can see past that, but if someone's dead in the face, it's really boring.
So dancing was not something I had a great desire to do.
Honestly, I am so ignorant of how dance works that I can't even imagine a story that you would want to tell through movement.
I had certain physical limitations that made me change the choreography for myself or made me more interested in choreography only rather than dancing. I have never been a person who wanted to just dance. I have always been interested in developing for other people.
Who cares if somebody dances better? Doing my very best is rewarding internally.
