We have all heard the phrase "practice makes perfect" and indeed it does. As I was practicing my scales on the piano today, I realized judging myself for hitting the wrong notes or not going as swiftly as I'd like is disadvantageous to my progress. It works in any skill that requires new muscle memory; to include of course dance. Any dance, the Salsa, Swing, Cha Cha or even Bolero. Perhaps a good practice, is to hang your hat of opinion of where you should be in the process and tip your hat off to where you are in the process. Celebrate your skill development with praise and encouragement. Don't give up; one day you will enjoy the process. One day you will achieve it!!!
