All too Common Comments from Skills Test Grading and the Snarky Comments that aren't appropriate for high school rubrics but we wish they were

Pop Demis -- No, this has nothing to do with Disney Teen Stars -- you are droppin' and poppin those demi plies and it ain't cute

GP2 -- grand plies in Seconde' aren't supposed to look like you are a) practicing weight lifting squats or b) attempting to tinkle in the woods

Knees Fwd -- You've got to open up those thighs and make them move outward...ballet class is one of the few places you'll ever be told to do this in polite, civilized company.

Heel Lift -- I am pretty sure you have no idea that your foot is even back there...but at least try for a little kinesthetic awareness and keep it on the floor in your 3rd or 5th Demi Plies

LB -- Lower Back not Elongated -- Too bad you haven't improved with age like fine wine, expensive cheese and your dance teacher because if you had -- you'd have a "Flatass" too and you wouldn't be getting this comment (see previous post)

Abs-- Are you aware that they might look better if you pulled them in? Or have you been desensitized to the unattractive look of your belly button hanging out over the top of those low ride jeans you wear? (Overly Harsh Companion comment -- Try wearing Granny Panties for a week -- it'll teach you where your waist is and how much you've got jiggling below it)

Ribs -- pull 'em in and back in line with the rest of your body... if you want to call attention to your bosom learn Victoria's Secret and you'll find that she's never been known as a famous ballerina

Dead Arm -- I know the leaves are falling off ... but I don't want to see that dead tree limb drooping from your shoulder

And that just gets us through the plies....
