She will be hungry for feedback and encouragement, for ideas, information and images. She will take whatever her teachers have to give and make it her own. She will bring colour and feeling and interest to whatever movement is asked for. She will be eager to experiment, to develop and to move on. This is the student who will want to see dance performances, who will be open to stimuli from other art forms and so will take up suggestions that she might visit art exhibitions or attend musical events. This is the student who will make use of the supportive curriculum and will demonstrate the effects of what she has learned in dance and choreography. Even if technically she has limitations, she is the student with presence and the power to project herself. If, in the end, her physical limitations prevent her from becoming a professional dancer in the conventional way, she will find a route and a vehicle for her creative and expressive talents. Above all, this is the student who uses the training in positive and creative ways for her own development. It will be evident to her teachers that, whatever her limitations, she is changing and growing in positive and life-enhancing ways. Socially, she is likely to get on well with her peers and to be able to collaborate and participate with them and in the work of the class. She will develop as a dancer technically and artistically. Her own ideas and qualities will become progressively clearer as she grows. Nobody needs to worry much about her.
