Dancers, it really is ok to tell someone you are a beginner, or just learning even after 10 or 20 years.
I’ve never understood the need to try and make yourself sound better than you are when asked. The dance never lies.
While there are good dancers, and great dancers and master dancers, this idea that someone is “advanced” because they take classes labeled advanced, or have been dancing for a while, means literally nothing.
I promise you that the “great dancers” work on fundamentals a LOT more than beginners do. Let that sink in…
Relax, be a student of dance, and enjoy the ride. There’s NOTHING wrong with taking “beginner classes” and learning more.
