Ballet

Before I begin this quest of analysis of myself in the ballet world, I would first like to ask a question. Do you believe that it’s possible for someone to detest themselves so much in a specific genre of dance that they are almost willing to give up completely? I am having serious issues with ballet as an art form, an expressive tool, or what have you, and I think you’ll notice this …

…that is slipping. I have realized that all the confidence in the world isn’t going to get you to look the way you want and dance the way you want. I have great musicality. Big deal. It doesn’t always get the job done, at least not for me it doesn’t. I want to have good technique combined with artistic skills. The more I watch these practicums, the less I see that happening.
