OK, so I've been dancing with a troupe for about 2 years, which involves learning a lot of complex choreography. We practice in a mirrored studio and learn the choreo facing the mirror - our teacher / troupe director stands in front of us facing the mirror - and we do all our practice facing the mirror until we are ready to perform the choreo, then we'll do some practice facing away from the mirror.
My problem is that I've come to rely on the mirrors to know what I'm doing and when they're not there, I panic and can't feel the movement I'm supposed to be doing. I never used to be like this - with my first teacher, we didn't even have mirrors (no, I'm not THAT old, the community hall just didn't have any) Has anyone else experienced this? What did you do?
