Ballet:

I love Ballet. I danced until I was a junior in high school. I didn't want to stop but I was working a lot and so I didn't have the time =[ My girls will always dance and, if ever I am given another opportunity, I will dance again =]
Ballet is just the most beautiful dance no question. Pointe Ballet is the most gorgeous, hardest, amazing dance.

These wonderful shoes cost a fortune, but they are so fun to dance in. I have all my ballet stuff neatly tucked away in a pretty box in the top of the closet, my tights, leotards, slippers, skirts, all of it. Let me tell you, you will never have as much freedom in ANY outfit, as you do in a leotard and slippers.
There are so many steps, and jumps to remember. Spinning across the floor is my favorite and I sometimes catch myself doing it across the wood floor or tile.
First, second, third, fourth, and fifth positions are the positions that every ballerina starts out in. They are not complicated at all, must they have a perfect way they must be done.
Ballet of Idaho is doing The Sleeping Beauty Ballet this weekend and I would love to go. You can really put literally any story to Ballet.
I was very flexible, stretching on the pole in front of the mirror was something I could do for hours. It just feels so good, and only that pole can stretch you out in the best ways. That almost sounds inappropriate. Dancing in front of the mirror and watching yourself dance to that loud fast music, or slow soft music each has a thrill of its own. To have the best jumps you MUST be flexible, I am (maybe not at this minute..) awesome at jumping if I do say so myself! I had many big tall mirrors in my room that I used to watch myself and I had a pole attached to the wall that I used to stretch, and that was a great investment!

I had a male teacher at one point, I was probably 15 and he was only 20's..? He was as good looking as he was good at dancing, he was a little fruity though, go figure. I often didn't dance in a class but I danced one on one with my teacher, so I could be the best. This is why I am so mad that I stopped because I put so much time, effort, money, and hard work into this sport. I wasn't meant to just stop cold. But I did. I will need to post some more pictures of me doing this lovely sport. And Ballet in fact is a sport. It takes hard work, you sweat, your sore, you can get hurt, ect, ect. I love Benjamin Button, it is a favorite movie of mine, I love that She joins the Ballet and dances everywhere, My heart truely broke when she couldnt dance with the Ballet anymore... I know, I know, its just a movie ;]
