DanceMind: May 2011
http://dancemind.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 17, 2011. Dear Sanna - :(. This is the worst I think I have ever felt after a performance. After waiting around for too long, the first piece was a wishy-washy ballet we've done a lot of times by now. I am in a few parts, nothing special really, and it's usually the easiest part of triple bill for me - the break. It was fine, not great, not bad. I already have a confidence issue, and this just makes me feel like garbage. How can I grow with this kind of negativity? Links to this post. No no,...

DanceMind: March 2011
http://dancemind.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 27, 2011. Janie, I feel your rant. I could not follow and had to read several times. Well, some time has past and I know you have danced your 13 days. How did it go? In hind site did it make a difference? I would be interested to know. It is easy to forget the 'rant' after the fact. We have it documented here, don't we? Do you recall this happening back then? Is it inherent in the profession? Sanna Carapellotti, MS CHt. Links to this post. Tuesday, March 8, 2011. I guess it is necessary to ...

DanceMind: September 2011
http://dancemind.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 8, 2011. Dear Sanna - I Miss Dancing! Tomorrow I'll get the results of my MRI, so I guess I can go from there with plans. So far I am just bored and missing ballet! I hate not dancing, and I have trouble filling the days, since walking and standing a lot are out. Once I know how long I will be off, maybe I will try to find something to do with my time.

DanceMind: Janie's back!
http://dancemind.blogspot.com/2011/11/janie-back.html
Tuesday, November 8, 2011. After weeks of frustration, my physical therapist FINALLY discovered the cause of pain - and what a simple solution it is! I am down to pt once a week, and I am essentially pain free! I am also so relieved to know that my foot really wasn't broken and we weren't just missing something on my completely normal MRI results. Now I have my work cut out for me. I have been working on the side to save up some money, and I need to get back into shape for auditions! Go to sleep here.

DanceMind: Dear Sanna - The Clock is Ticking!
http://dancemind.blogspot.com/2011/07/dear-sanna-clock-is-ticking.html
Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Dear Sanna - The Clock is Ticking! But it was just about 5 minutes or so before she made her way to the door and I asked if we could talk. We walked upstairs to a private room and my legs were shaking. Now the season is winding down. A few friends who are also leaving the company decided to do a going away party, so we are organizing that. My room is getting boxed up. Sometimes I want to cry. I really will miss it, but I'm so excited for the future! July 5, 2011 at 4:14 AM.

DanceMind: June 2011
http://dancemind.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 19, 2011. Hello, Janie,. It will be difficult to say 'Goodbye.' Accept it. You will feel sad and upset. You may never see some of them again. This camaraderie is a gift that is shared by teams, dance corps and an group that comes together. It is bittersweet. You take a part of them with you and you leave a part of you behind. These people changed your life and helped to shape your dancing. Honor them (as I mentioned in the most recent post). Much Love, Sanna. Links to this post. As you appro...

DanceMind: April 2011
http://dancemind.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 27, 2011. Janie - You did it! That is wonderful news. You have achieved that relentless pursuit of mind-body coming together as the complete dancer. When you can mezmerize a high level performer, you know your were on! Links to this post. Dear Sanna - Yay! Just had to blog this really fast even though it is LATE and tomorrow is another looong day. Today one of the supers came up to me and told me she loves watching me dance! Nobody ever complimented me on my expression of all things!

DanceMind: And it begins
http://dancemind.blogspot.com/2012/01/and-it-begins.html
Friday, January 13, 2012. Today is officially my first audition, and of course I am sick as a dog with a severe cold. After months stuck living with the folks, slowly gaining enough strength for even the open adult classes at my local company, I am more than ready for a change. Let's go with the former, shall we? I decided to emphasize the positive. Why not? Being negative won't help me any, now will it? So here's a list of my personal silver audition linings:. More to come - gotta find this place! Ready...

DanceMind: You have been always free to dance for the love of it
http://dancemind.blogspot.com/2011/07/you-have-been-always-free-to-dance-for.html
Saturday, July 16, 2011. You have been always free to dance for the love of it. As I am writing this you are most likely warming up, taking class for tonight. Connecting with this love frees you, your mind and body for your own standing ovation. What if every performance was infused with this love? Could you have more fun? You might experience that tonight. If you set this internal state in dance mode, the anger of the director (which you cannot control) is minimized. When is your departure date? MEET JA...

DanceMind: Dear Sanna - At Least There's Hope
http://dancemind.blogspot.com/2011/08/dear-sanna-at-least-theres-hope.html
Friday, August 26, 2011. Dear Sanna - At Least There's Hope. So I returned from two auditions for two great companies. The first was a very friendly, welcoming company. Many dancers struck up conversations with me, and I even knew a few company members already (the ballet world is so small! So it was nice to feel welcomed, although ironically I think it made me even more nervous and self conscious. Maybe I had the feeling they were interested in me and therefore watching! Hopefully not, and I can continu...
