We learnt a lot because we got in with real choreographers who tell you what they need from a song, because a song has to advance the story. then real directors like mike nichols tell you where you can have 'b themes' and 'c themes', and we go oh yes, b themes and c themes! so we were taught in the finest school amongst the finest people. and also by the school of experience.

When it's easy, it's great. but when something bad happens is when you really learn. it causes self-examination, it causes you to take a look at yourself. you naturally start analyzing. it's not that you're wrong; it's that sometimes you just need to make adjustments.
