I recently danced in a showcase with my instructor. She's a pro. I'm the amateur. We knew our choreography, and we had performed it previous without a flaw. Well, some flaws arose during the night of the performance, and I accept the responsibility for that. That's life, and I'll forge ahead. But I found I couldn't concentrate due to the volume of the music. I wasn't nervous or scared this time. It was loud enough to cause minor pain to my ears. Many of us have asked time and time again to have the volume turned down to no avail. Is it me? Because if it is, I'll suck it up, get some ear plugs, and stop complaining. Have any of you had a similar experience?
