The Offical Ballet Thread

[hansthesockmonkey]

Im 15 and have been dancing for almost 13 years (I turn 16 in august). I started pointe when I was 11, so in august I will have been doing pointe for 5 years. Wow that seems like a long time.

I have audition pictures from summer camps this year... I'll post them.
Here they are:
1st arabesque


2nd echappé



This year, at my school we had a guest artist come in and set a classical ballet piece on us for our final show. I got the lead and it was soooo much fun! I got to do fouetes en pointe as well as more partnering. The first time I had ever done partnering was last year at camp. A guy from ABT, named Flavio Salazar (amazing name right!?) taught us and we did giselle. I did the variations that involved partnering, and another girl did one of her solos.
