Question: Am I a bad dancer!?
I'm 13!. I can almost do fouettes!. I have my right and left splits!. I can do axel turns and calypsos, I can do triple turns right and left!. I have advanced ballet, tap, jazz, and pointe training!. But there's this one girl who is 11 who can do fouettes NO PROBLEM and can do quad turns!. Am I a bad dancer!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Your an amazing dancer! I wish I could do triple turns, and I wish I could do the splits both ways!. All I can do is flips ( I do gymnastics), but you are disciplined, graceful, and really flexible!. There will always be people who are better than you!. You just have to accept that an 11 year old can do one more turn then you!. With some more practice and confidence, I'm sure you could do 5 turns, and be 100 times better then you are right now!!:DWww@QuestionHome@Com

All of those accomplishments are great! You are very flexible and can do triples at 13! And being 13 and being in advance classes is an wonderful accomplishment!. Everybody learns at different paces and has different strenths and weakness!. You may be better at something else that shes not!. There will always be someone better than you and you can't let them disincourage you!. You are still young and learning and don't give up because you are A GREAT DANCER!

P!.S!. Fouettes are hard! Don't give up!Www@QuestionHome@Com

No most definitely not!

If you can almost do fouette pirouettes, that's very impressive!

Of course there's always going to be someone better than you!. And that 11 year old is a natural!. Comparing yourself to others will only make you feel like you're bad!.

But trust me there are 16 year olds who can't do fouettes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No, that doesn't make you a bad dancer, it's all about dedication and commitment, plus if you factor in what age she started dance as well, don't feel discouraged if someone younger is better then you at dance, why!? because dance is a skill, which means it can be improved, not like running where you either have it or don't the way I see it is more practice more power!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

u r certainly not a bad dancer!. u sound like ur prety good (im a 13 yr old dancer myself) there r some kids who just started a little earlier than others, or practice a LOT!. dont get discouraged jus keep on practing and working hard, maybe a few more camps wouldnt hurt and you'll b even better!Www@QuestionHome@Com
