Ballet Musings

I want to take this opportunity to talk about what ballet means to me. This might come off as a "stream of consciousness" type thing.

Lately, I have only wanted to goto my ballet classes, thats why I'm taking it 5 days a week. My modern classes haven't been grabbing my attention the way classes ballet have. I find that the stronger I become in ballet, the stronger I become in all of the other dance forms that I do. Even on the days when I can't seem to do anything right in class, I would still rather be there than anywhere else.

Often, I wish my mother has introduced me to ballet much sooner. There is nothing I would love more than to be dancing at ABT or Alvin Ailey and had I had ballet much sooner, I think I would have been a cinch to get in.

I love the way ballet looks on my body, especially contemporary ballet. I wish we could do more contemporary ballet combinations in class. That's where I find alot of my connectivity to movement.
