i started my senior dance solo and i don't like it at all. i can't connect to the music and the dance is just weird. the song i'm dancing to is "roses" by meg and dia. i want to change my song to "it doesn't hurt" i think by katie thompson? i dont know. but the thing is i'm already a minute through the solo. i'm scared to ask my dance teacher to change the song and dance. i would pay more to change it but i'm nervous about her reaction. what should i do?

If you're not fully into it, your facial expressions and dancing will not be to its prime. Your best bet is to tell your dance teacher and be upfront about it because in the long run, it doesn't hurt her, it's actually good for her because she can make some more money, haha! If you prolong and wait off telling her, you're gonna end up hurting yourself even more! You should tell her ASAP so that way you can start working on your new song. Who's to say she won't like your song selection even more?! You never know... :)
Just remember: dancing is an art that combines not only motions and music but also passion and without both, you're left with nothing. [ xo_'s advice column | Ask xo_ A Question ]

Be honest with her and say you're not connecting to the music. I'm not a dancer but I have friends that are dancers and they always say they dance the best when they feel the music and dance from their heart. Well you can't really do that if you don't like the song. So talk to your teacher and say you want to dance your absolute best and you feel like you won't be able to if you dance to that song. And it would mean a lot to you if you could switch songs. Tell her you're committed to making the other song work and you'll do whatever it takes.
