Not saying that we should go for the fall every class. Not saying I WANT to fall down every class. I mean you try, try and try again. That´s when you´ll actually manage to get it right and stay up! :)Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-79234786100227014452011-11-13T14:40:30.711+02:002011-11-13T14:40:30.711+02:00I keep thinking that the fact of falling down in c...I keep thinking that the fact of falling down in class is not something to be ashamed of, but something to be proud of. It is a display of your hard effort. If you fall down today, you will be up tomorrow. If there is a dancer who has never fallen in class, it means that they are not doing their best!<br /><br />*Claps!*Nereahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01725000210467993282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-45642586777636321572011-11-13T13:31:04.858+02:002011-11-13T13:31:04.858+02:00Hi Aija,

Because it shows that "they really went for it." Her ballet company (Miami City Ballet) sounds like such a supportive and fun place to dance and work in! <br /><br />It´s aJohannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-75943410093902842012011-11-13T00:32:40.756+02:002011-11-13T00:32:40.756+02:00Maybe it needs some crashing to break those border...Maybe it needs some crashing to break those borders?Aijanoreply@blogger.com
