Ballet on the Brain


I’ve got ballet on the brain as of late, and I’m loving it!


Perhaps it is due to the fact that I’m dancing more now than I have in the past 3 1/2 years –combined!

Maybe because I’m breaking in my first pair of pointe shoes since I was a freshman in college.


And maybe it is the fact that I’ve seen Swan Lake twice in less than a week!

{Yup, you read that right! Once with an adorable boy that stayed awake for the WHOLE thing & even showed me his variation of ‘swan arms’ and then one more time just because I HAD to see both casts.}

I just LOVE ballet! It is so easy for me to become simply {Obsessed} with it. It is like second nature. I catch myself drifting in and out of my ballet-way-of-life.


My mother says it’s an addiction.

I say it’s a passion.


Whatever it is, it has me walking on clouds, and regardless of the blisters, it feels great!

I hope you each take a moment today to ReMeMbEr your PaSSioN and feed your aMbiTioNs!

EnJoY!

**Shameless plug: Ballet West’s Swan Lake is running through the end of the week at Capital Theater and you should be there! It's Amazing!**


***Random Side Note: Did you know that when Tchaikovsky died, he thought he was a failure? Yes, that’s right, the composer of all the music for Swan Lake, The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, and Sleeping Beauty, just to name a few, thought he was a failure! We should all be a little less harsh on ourselves!***
