No turns today

Ugh! Pirouettes...just not happening today! Whhhhyyyyyy?!?!?!?!     /Sadface

I love pirouettes... I practice on my way to the kitchen, I practice while cooking in the kitchen... I practice between combinations in class when the teacher is busy grabbing music.

Today, the pirouettes were gone...vanished... poof! I fell out of my releve... I couldn't spot... ugh it was a mess, but my teacher was very supportive (as always ) .."next time." We all have our off days.

On a positive note however, I have decided that I am not pushing my highest demi pointe.... I'm sure I could try harder with that one, and there's always room for more toe-ball-heel. At least the jumps were easier though. Yay! Small steps.... Ah well time to go practice!

Ballerina Dove

I have a pet dove, (laughing dove) nothing at all like those big fat pigeons you find in the street sucking up bread tossed at them like vacuums. He is quite the character. He gets in these moods though, like split personalities. One moment he's attacking you with his wing boxing fighting style or dive bombing your head while cackling wildly, and other times he is just a big softie cooing away to get pet. He loves to snuggle.

After a very close call with my pointe shoes (scraping bird poop off pink satin is not what I had planned for the day) I had the greatest idea ever. Doves in pointe shoes and tutu's!.... wait! I'm not those kinds of people that would ever dress up my dog or cat (well I did one time for Halloween a very long time ago - but it wasn't my dog and it wasn't my idea- I just helped )

I searched everywhere online for a picture someone MUST have done this before right?? But all I could find was a bunch of dogs, cats, and parrots.  Lol, poor thing!

 

 Oh yeah and this cute rat... in a tutu! Awwww.

Ballet Class Clothing and Insecurities

 Continued from last post.... There were some ideas I wanted to expand upon.....


So after all the bloating issues, and tights problem.. why do I continue to wear them? And not just throw on some yoga pants or shorts and a tank top?
