When I started teaching dance, I had a good count of 15 girls in the first month. The number gradually went to 3 girls within a year. Girls were quitting dance for various excuses. Therefore, I had no choice but to shut down the class.
But why do girls do that? Do you think it is okay to be a jack of all and master of none? Here are 6 reasons why people quit dancing so soon
They have no focus
Every learner must understand their goal no matter what they are learning. Dance is a skill and not just a time pass. Every beginner must understand the goal behind learning any new skill. Whether they want to pick up as a career, just a good hobby, or for fitness.
It is okay even if you are going through stress and you are trying to overcome it through dancing.
But, be honest and focused on what you exactly want to do.
Easily influenced by other people
I have seen many girls in my dance class that my friends are coming to learn dance, that’s why I m going. It is great to have a dance partner and companion. But once your friend quits dancing for some reason, your interest in dancing descends too. People will keep switching their hobbies and keep trying all the time. However, Exploring new things is good. But ending up doing nothing is questionable.
They keep comparing themselves with others
Your biggest competitor is yourself, so you must stop comparing yourself with other students with ourselves. Girls usually get disheartened if the teacher appreciates someone else. And that is absolutely fine. If you are learning a skill you will take some time to grasp everything. It is difficult in the beginning but once you get your hands on it you will definitely be an expert in it.
Reason to quit dance- “Oh my feet hurt”
Of course, your legs will hurt. If you are learning any skill whether it be a musical instrument, a sport, or dance, injuries and pain are very common. Our body is not ready for any change or discomfort in the beginning. But over time, your pain will reduce, your stamina will level up and your body will easily adapt to everything.
I had to quit dance because my teacher was not kind
Of course, you have the right to change your teacher if he/she is not capable enough to teach you or if he/she had misbehaved with you. But that is not the solution to quit dancing right? Dance is a beautiful art form, and your skill and art will not be taken away from you no matter how bad the teacher or mentor is.
So, it is always okay to switch your teacher and not to switch your favorite hobby.
Need fast outcomes
We all know that Rome was not built in a day. So, Patience is the only key and time is the only medicine. With sincere hard work and vigorous practice, you will definitely see the outcomes. But, quitting dance is not the solution.
The legendary dancers and choreographers in the world had to start very early to learn dancing. Years of hard work and persistence lead them to build successful careers.
In short, any skill you learn, you will need time and patience. So, If your friend or family member is looking for fast outcomes and is influencing you to quit dance, share this blog with them!
