Embarrassing, Dance and Miscellaneous: Graceful

Graceful

By dancer4life - 09/01/2010 03:04 - United States

Today, in ballet class, I was really focusing and actually trying to work hard. I was really getting into the choreography. I was travelling big and leaping long. While going across the floor, again I travelled and leaped… right into the ballet bars and fell over, in front of 35 people. FML

Today, I had one of my biggest dance shows ever. After months of practice I had finally gotten the lead position. When I entered the stage and raised my arms my straps fell down and I flashed an audience of 5000. FML

Today, I injured my knee during dance class. When it started to feel a little bit better, I tried dancing again. I tripped, fell, and broke my wrist. FML

Today, I sprained my ankle at dance class. No, I wasn't dancing when I did it. I was trying to step off from a small mat so I could go home. FML

Today, my mom told me to break a leg before performing in my dancing school's show. I really did break part of my leg while performing. FML

Today, in dance class, the instructor asked me to demonstrate the splits to the group. I slid down, my legs opening wider as I descended. I then loudly farted for the full 5 seconds it took to reach the ground. FML

Today, I auditioned for a role in ballet. My stomach was in pain and as I ran to be lifted into the air by my partner, I let out a huge fart. The auditorium was dead silent. FML

Today, I realized that I can still do the splits. Why? Because I fell down an entire flight of stairs, everyone in the hall saw me land and applauded. Someone even shouted "and she sticks the landing." FML

Today, I was doing a fitness test. Though clumsy, I managed to spin around a bat then dash across a balance beam, run through some tires, and walk across a log floating in water. Pleased with my performance, I walked to the bathroom, tripped on my shoelace, and bust my head on the floor. FML

Today, I had a big figure skating competition. Many of the girls before me fell or did not execute their jumps correctly. Me? I skated a flawless program. I was placed last because they said I didn't push myself hard enough to the point of falling. FML

Ballet fail. Professional dancers regularly attend class. It helps keep their technique up to snuff.

From the way you word your post, it seems like this is the first time you're working hard in ballet. YDI. and YDI for complaining about falling. You're not a dancer if you haven't fallen once.

Yesterday, in dance class, we learned a new dance. I didn't get any of it and ended up standing there awkwardly most of the time, making a fool of myself in front of 35 people. FML At least you can dance.

Hm. you sorta deserve it. i agree with some of the other posts. 1. There were probably no professionals attending the class. Not a big deal if you fall. 2. You ran into the barres, not the bars. &&3. When you're doing a jete, isn't the idea to be going for height, and not distance? So maybe 'leaping long' wasn't the smartest idea? I'm more of a jazz/contemporary dancer, and that's what I'm always told. I'm not the greatest, but I'd say i'm not that bad.. Just a hint of advice..correct me if I'm wrong? 4. Only true dancers fall on their ass :) Don't worry about it. It happens to all of us!
