Do you see that many people have a hard time admitting that there are indeed 100 percent natural born dancers?

Of course there are natural born dancers but without training they can only go so far. The natural born dancers are great with club and social dance but nobody is born knowing dance technique which is required for codified dance genres like ballet and modern dance. Once you have someone born with all the right gifts and then give them the technique training then you have all the real greats in dance. As a matter of fact all the training in the world and you go nowhere if you aren’t born with all the right gifts for dance which include the instrument of being born with the right body (bone and muscle structure,) facility for dance and the musicality required. Ballet training even helps with commercial and street dance. A perfect example is actually the one of Micheal Jackson. He was born a natural dancer but took it further. Irina Brecher Hamilton, from Romania and a classical ballet teacher in Los Angeles, gave ballet lessons to Michael Jackson. If Fred Astaire was born in these times he would be another example of a natural dancer that even you could see. He had so much music in him down to the way he walked. He could also play any instrument he picked up. A true natural in both music and dance. You can’t see it perhaps because the style of dance was so different back then. I would love to see a post of you dancing. Please send a link so you can share your gifts with all of us. If you are as good as you say perhaps you can even get work as a dancer. I would suggest classes then because a professional dancer needs to be able to do what they are told after being shown or even just told once and perform it flawlessly. For that you need a dance vocabulary which you don’t currently have. Even the best dancers don’t get work if they can’t deliver what the choreographer wants and do it right away.

So say you. There are dancers who have many years of training, such as ballet dancers. I doubt you could perform Swan Lake flawlessly.

Quote " many dancers who put in work say 'oh no such thing as a natural dancer' What they mean is what mintchips is talking about... you take a 'natural dancer' but then TRAIN AND TRAIN AND TRAIN and only then will you have a 'great dancer'.
