Ballet is not easy!

I always tell myself that WE MUST ENJOY BALLET! When I pass through Intermediate foundation, Intermediate, Advanced Foundation...I realised that Ballet is not easy. I have to understand all the names of every single movement.

Why not for once try and enjoy the beautiful art of the dance without everlastingly dissecting its limitations or adding with similar words it attributes? Why not for once, let us say we enjoy ballet, because of the beauty, the feminine charm and the athletic strength it can bring to the average uninitiated onlooker?

Technique is the most important that my dear teacher always emphasized on in class. "I like ballet, but I don't understand it", or " I enjoyed it although I don't know what it is all about". I attended lots of workshops and I realised that 2 things that we really need to focus on which are THE STANCE and TURN-OUT.
 The Stance

At the beginning of my training has to learn to stand correctly. The placing of the hips, and shoulders, is the most important thing to understand. The hips must be directly over the feet; the back straight, the whole feeling in the body of growing up, with the slightest inclination forward. Well, that's all I know from my master, Loo Chingli. you can try it, is not easy though!






"kai-le, TURN OUT la...."(hit my ass) The most most most important technical of the classical dance is the turn-out of the legs from the hip to the hip of the toe. The unnatural opening from the groin gives beauty to the line of the body and is essential to the classical form.
