How to control your competetiveness- Dance Saturday

Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,

It isn't wrong to have a desire to be better than others. That is what makes you better at what you love doing. But, if that desire becomes too strong, your competitiveness can turn into poisonous envy that can only bring you down further in what you do. About over a year ago,  I joined a highly competitive dance studio that specialised in jazz,ballet and all things technical. I despised the dancers in that studio because they had everything and they constantly compared themselves to their peers in the most ugly way possible. They compared themselves on their size and on having the most pirouettes. This was the reason I ended up leaving and going to a better studio a year later. However, I did end up learning a valuable lesson from it. I originally joined thinking that the competetiveness would make me a better dancer and more known in the dance community but I was wrong. The competetiveness was overpowering. The dancers became afraid of failure and obsessed with perfection and in general, everything became hideous. If their competitiveness was healthy, they would still be rivals with each other but in a way that it pushes them to become better dancers and not just perfect human beings. Now, in my new studio, I never stop being competitive but if I feel envious of other dancers I always try to channel it away and tell myself that that person is a replica of what I will be with just a bit of practice.

Are you competetive or not competetive and why? Let me know in the comments below and I will be sure to reply to them.

See you next time,

Bye
