It’s been ages since I’ve added any posts, but since last October I danced in my first show at my ballet school. Before then, I’ve only ever done a couple of shows from my adult ballet class. It was fun, but it was the first time I danced with teenagers. Everyone is so good that I suddenly found myself losing confidence in my own abilities. I started having thoughts like, ‘I’m really rubbish.’ Ballet Teacher noticed my technique had slipped after the show. She said that the second I start gettting bogged down about my feet, my body crumples whereas I am aiming for the opposite. If my body crumples, it means I’m not pulling up so everything I do looks awful. ‘The minute you enter the studio, you are a dancer,’ she said. ‘You don’t need perfect feet to be one.’ I know she’s right, as always.
