3 Cues for Teachers to Ditch in Dance
Many of the cues commonly used in dance are based on tradition and have probably been passed down to you from your teachers – but have you ever stopped to think about what the cues actually mean or whether they’re anatomically correct (or even possible?!?!).
Today’s dancers are more knowledgeable than ever, especially when it comes to things like anatomy and biomechanics. Using cues that are outdated and anatomically incorrect leaves dancers confused and frustrated when they don’t understand, or can’t execute, the cue in the way it’s being used.
This free guide will give you my top 3 cues that confuse dancers the most, and should be gone for good!
