The Importance of Watching the Choreographer: Appreciating the Gift of the First Dance

Okay, when the choreographer is showing you the dance for the first time, watch them, please. It kills me to see students in class already trying to figure it out. It’s the first time they’re playing the song and you are already trying to figure out the moves and the timing and the, just watch them. It’s like, I love that part of class when the choreographer shows you for the first time cuz it feels like a present and it feels special. But when you don’t watch them and no one watches the choreographer, why are they showing it to you in the first place? If you’re not gonna watch? Do you know what I mean?
