I would love to dance in music videos, but I really want to dance on Broadway. The only problem I have is that I've never taken lessons for any sort of dance. It has always come natural to me. I know I'm good. I can imagine how exciting it was for you to be validated by that gold medal.
Natural talent is a great gift.
But without the skill to instantly duplicate a professional choreographer's moves, articulate them precisely, and fill them with specific emotional content, all that natural talent won't mean diddley when you step up to the line at an audition. You can honor your potential or squander it. The difference between a talented free-style mover and a trained professional is substantial. The choice is up to you. Dear Grover, My name is Steffie and I've been studying dance for ten years.
