.... I am in desperate need of .. a tummy small enough to fit into those amazing romantic tutu's hanging on the wall...
----Must focus on developing a stronger right side... I've sadly discovered that not only is my right leg seriously "hyper-extended" to a bad degree and "MUST BE WORKED ON ALWAYS!"....I've also discovered I have the fear. Yay! My weaker side holds me back. because I don't trust it to support me in all my movements....When it comes to pointe work.... I am afraid of my right side... that it won't support me... it wont hold up... and I may get injured....
It seems I tend to "favor" this side in a bad way and this creates bad habits..and horrible muscle memory I must fight constantly (even outside of class - Yes.. it IS that bad. )
..That I've always had a problem with port-de-bras.. and I think I finally realize why..... I can't seem to allow myself to be "BIG" or take up alot of space.. to be "loud and proud and in yo FACE! " doesn not come easily to me... so the large expression-able arms in port-de-bras.. are an enormous struggle! Why can't I "just take up space" and be comfortable?
If you could be truly honest with yourself ( and yes sometimes the truth hurts.... What would you admit you need to improve? )
Yes, that's totally one of the deeper challenges in ballet - to free yourself of all the expectations, insecurities and ideas on how we think we SHOULD be..
