Title: naflibomyalp's ballet
Post by: naflibomyalp on March 04, 2012, 17:32:33
 :wave: After seeing the new ballerina figure I knew I had to have one...at least!
I have been dancing since I was four and still go twice a week-I loved macgayvers custom and photos a few weeks ago and this inspired me to do my own.

Yes the piano changes-it gives more room for dancing.   ;)

This last one is a more 'realistic' view of what my lessons are like.   :lol:  We dance in a school hall, we use chairs instead of a barre and a CD player (only a piano for exam days).  It's not very posh or fancy but we all have fun and that's why I enjoy it-it's a hobby not a career.  And yes, the floor space is a lot larger than that-I'm just low on base plates.   :)

Love those pictures of your balarinas. And I must say, the last photo and its settings have their charms too, just like in real life.

A very nice display, Verity.  I guess the grand piano can be used for performances and the upright for practice.  Like the new avatar, too.

Your ballet scenes are so cute, I particularly like the applause scene with the bouquets on the floor.  I laughed when you showed your class.  I took ballet for several years as an adult and our instructor was from the Royal Ballet and she did not give us any "slack" just because we were not "real ballerinas".  We were required to wear our hair up, but as older students she let us wear the tie on skirts over our black leotards to hide our tummies (thank goodness).  I loved those classes.

Our lessons are quite relaxed. We have a uniform (it's lilac  :love: ) but we never where it to lessons just for important stuff. But when it comes to exams it's really strict. Your bun has to be in a certain place, you have to wear a certain brand of leotard and there's ettiquette on how to enter the room and what to say to the examiner.  :lol:

I kind of want some cheerleaders too but I'm not sure. Definately going to pick up another ballerina for my friends birthday.

Got to have a good cup of tea before starting a project.  ;)
I do need to work on my background though.
