Ballet, you say? That's what people say when i tell them i started ballet. About ballet you say. Can all the pieces really fall together in time for performance? Are we going to detourne’ after that second pony before the arabesque? And if we detourne’, the weight will be in the back foot and do we just shift the weight to the front foot as the first step of the arabesque or is there another step in there? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. A nine year old pixie in a pink tutu couldn’t be any cuter! Fill in your de...

Thanks and Kittens : Adult Ballerina showing you can do it too. Monthly Archives: March 2015. Spring has sprung uncharacteristically early here in Seattle. Yesterday it was in the upper 60s and that was just… preposterous. Disgusting weather for March. Should be stormy, wet, cool and overcast. What is this abomination of green sprigs, sing song birds chirping away, and sunlight. HISSSssssSSsSssSss…. My foot, my scar, my surgery all memories now. What a struggle it was the first month. Showers and...As fo...

We all do it to some extent: you walk into that adult ballet class, look around for an unoccupied space at the barre, and notice the other people warming up while you make inner assessments of who "looks like a dancer.". Angyal also extends this lesson from ballet class and challenges us all to examine how we make assumptions about a person's appearance, our own included:. We live in a culture where body ...

In our Library we aim to feature literature that is helpful to all dancers, but has also been read, reviewed and recommended by us GUBs.
