Mistakes?
I've never seen one onstage in 59 years,
amateur or pro.
Of course I have seen three things that non artists might confuse with 
mistakes:
Creativity
Discovery
Improvisation

As awonderful choreographer explained to me as she attempted to make it 
look like I was actually able to dance, "there are no mistakes, only 
variations.

Art isn't easy, but it is far more fun & forgiving than rocket science 
or brain surgery.
