    So here`s the thing about dance rehearsal: it`s fascinating while you`re doing it, because you`re learning new choreography and forcing your body through its paces, even as your muscles protest and your lungs complain and your skeleton feels like it`s about to turn into sludge and come dripping out of the soles of your feet. And when you`re done, you`ve learned something new, and you can make art with your body. That`s the true power of dance. Painters and sculptors and designers, they take raw materials and turn them into art. Dancers turn themselves into art. We are poetry in motion when we do our jobs right, and we can stop your heart with a point of a toe or the angle of a limb. But describing rehearsal? If there was an annotated dictionary with more elaborate definitions, "a detailed description of a dance rehearsal" would probably go under "boring." There`s a lot of repetition, and a lot of "I tried, I failed, I fell, I tried again." Not the sort of gripping material that holds the attention, unless it`s edited down to a series of sound bites and clever clips.
