When reading Daniel Coyle’s The Talent Code: Greatness Isn’t Born. Its Grown. Here’s How, the ideas and theories addressed throughout these two chapters have really changed the way I have looked at how I have been taking class. These chapters discussed the theory of myelin and deep practices and how those affect the way in which our brain learns certain things. In dance, at least for many of us, we have spent a long period of our lives redefining our technique.This process not only worked to change the way in which our muscles within our legs, arms, back, etc take class, it also changed the way our brains work to grasp these new ideas with redefining our ballet technique.

Everything builds on each other, which we have discussed in class. When we break everything down, we are able to comprehend as to why something didn't go the way we wanted it to. I know that when I fall out of a pirouette, my preparation was not strong enough and I didn’t use my plie. This is where the idea that Coyle brings up in the readings of deep practice occurs in our dance
