[@MrsLyraGyrl]

​@@blabla187 It's also about the environment. Not just in ballet, but in anything competitive, some instructors take delight in creating excessively cutthroat environments. That's bound to breed jealousy and resentment, which ends with glass in your pointe shoes. Fortunately, it seems as though these instructors, while good and obviously teaching their students well, have also bred an environment of community, fun, and sharing in the accomplishments of others. Compare this to Abbey Lee and Dance Moms. That woman made the studio atmosphere so hostile. No wonder the moms were always going at each other and the children were miserable. I stopped watching after a couple of seasons, but I've seen some of the dancers perform over the years after having left, and their demeanors have brightened considerably. It's reflected in their dancing.

While that’s super cool and I respect that control and amazing stability, I was always taught to fit in however many turns you Can while still being on time for the next step and not skipping things, which I think is more impressive because it means you have to dance with the music and not dance over it… I’d love to see how many turns she can fit in in the small timing given bc I’m sure it would be just as amazing!!

In my experience, the hunching thing has been because we're all so freaking tired at the end of the combination/variation that we're desperate to relax the intense body control we've been holding. It's probably humility for some dancers, but I've seen tired far more often.
