dancing ballerina !



it's abt poise, position, music and coordination.... ... there's much to discover in doing ballet, even re-discovering abt myself ! For e.g., spotting of the image in the mirror (thyself) is essential to do good pirouettes. Everybody has to prepare (PREPARE !!!), note the beat-timing and do the shoot-up in 1 Count, and turn ! Yup, the momentum is v.impt and nothing else beats it. Suck in the tummy, Pull thy body up, focus-spot... bend and shoot up-Turn !

The hands and posture help to complete the balancing act.

=0) haha, i am finally fulfilling my childhood dream... to do ballet
the dancing part is fun, but the learning part is even fun-ner and the fulfilling of my dream is a thrilling one...

Must add this: my teacher is v.good !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! she is funny and yet points out the finer points for us, esp. me as a beginner. I love the way she tells us how we are standing and our wrong posture/ positions... She seems to understd how best to communicate to us the details of doing a good pirouette, a good passe, barr-monte (how to spell ?!), ... and pointe, etc... balancing on the big toe... etc. Really appreciate her giving her best and tips; pointing out wat I need to do to execute tat particular step better (stronger bends, heels on the floor, shoot-up).

I am still getting to know my body, and balancing method...my fellow dancing frens in the class are all like Happy Feet ! For me, it's a broken-dream no more. Thk U, God.
