What was the dance or dance style, that made you begin? Part...2

I always love to turn, spin, well! do Pirouettes. Around and around, I love to go.

Pirouettes are such fun!

You should have a try, if you've not done one in a long time or ever before?

How did you get on with your pirouettes?

Shoes with Heels Part...2

Dancing in heels is one thing but one has to be able to walk in them first. Which sounds easy, but its not? Truth be told walking is one of the hardest skills to be mastered.

To make it look easy is the art and grace your trying to find.

Everyone loves wearing heels.

Shoes with heels Part...1

I love learning the whole dance. “Faster maybe you can do this step fast and next really slow.”

Kicks, turns, jumps some steps with both arms up in the air out of the way."Higher, doubles and faster then hold still."

Then only to be told at the end ………… “Now, here are the shoes I want you to perform in…………….. The heels have a support brace”

All you can do is, put them on, and go for it!

What else can you do?

To dance in Ballet Shoes

I have loads of pairs, but most loved are the first of many. My first ballet soft flats, which in fact were not soft but extremely hard. Made of pink leather, that had my feet working over time to get a little bit of bend out of them.

They made me dance, not red but they still had that desire to make me dance, more and more. My first Pointe/toe shoes, shiny again pink, but this time satin with all the accessories that have to be attached with them to help, these shoes. Help, pain, stress, joy all the same thing when it come to these shoes.

Pretty but warning can bring pain depending on how your foot is shaped? Today you could buy even more help for your toes including Lambs wool, fleecy pads for toes, and pouches for the Ouch, cushions / pads for your toes; they even come in the form of gel, suede and silicone.

One can get bunion guards and a ray of toe tapes, ribbons, elastic, darning trend, carrying bags plus resin.

Well I never! I’m surprise one, can get the shoe on after that lot.

A DANCERS BAG

You need a strong dance bag, not to big because it may get too heavy.

You may need tee shirts, leotards, tights, skirt, tutu, jazz pants, dance underwear, shorts, exercise band,  socks, legwarmers, weights, foot roller, cross over cardigan, sweater, sweat suit, dance soft ballet shoes , tap shoes and Pointe/toe shoes, gel toe pads . Don’t forget the towel, soap, tooth brush, shampoo, wash bag. Head / hair band, a pen, tissues, spray, comb, brush, hair grips. Body lotion, hand cream, make-up, book, water, food snacks, sewing kit, scissors, an outfit to wear after woulds and ………………… Back Support. 

What Items did I miss?

Rehearsal

Dancers spend most of their day in class, then rehearsal going over and over and over, over the same steps and other steps building up a route of movements only sometime to be told “forget that I want this step instead……………………on this count and with this beat of music.” “Oh………………………… ok………………….. From, which bit of the dance????????????? “

“Oh, that bit, after the jump in the air after the first 16 counts.”

That’s how they become one with each other and link with the music. Everything is in balance with its counterpart. So all the audience can see is the whole creation the choreographer is putting / bringing together. Dancers have to remember all details and then forget them. So it all can become one, to show the tale to be danced.
