Reply to comment by FastWalkingShortGuy in LPT: Art cannot be taught. It has to be embraced, lived, and learned, and comes from within. Anyone who advertises dance, music, or painting/drawing lessons is probably scamming you. You cannot teach passion. by [deleted]

That totally misses the point.

Is art what YOU have passion about?

Or is it also what I, as a purveyor of art, have passion about?

And would you say that ballet is art? Because you’re never going to master that art form without both passion AND daily lessons.

You brought it up, not me.

Ballet is an art.

But I'm a flat-footed short guy with the coordination of a diabetic llama on a good day.

Should I take ballet lessons in hope of mastering it?
