Of course there is always room for improvement, but it's important to remember you can only do so much. So, we do the best we can, and that has to be good enough - at least for the time being! :)<br /><br />Thanks for the peer support <3Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-10778983554469671442012-03-02T01:30:39.877+02:002012-03-02T01:30:39.877+02:00hi, Johanna!

Yet so difficult to remember and accept! But she's right, we do the best we can and we get better, and we are our own worst critics!! I bet you are the same way, your own worst critic.

Stil...Thanks for the encouragement, La Chanteuse! <br /><br />Still, elegance is not a given just because you get to be on pointe. Requirements for beginning pointe class are clean technique, a strong core and strong and flexible feet. Elegance is a combination of that and épaulement and a sense of style. It may be there, or still in the making. <br /><br />Pointe is a continuation of what I have Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-90583256429169485502012-03-01T07:50:16.946+02:002012-03-01T07:50:16.946+02:00I find it incredibly hard to believe you aren'...I find it incredibly hard to believe you aren't elegant. You're a dancer on pointe. If you teacher didn't think you were elegant enough, she wouldn't put you on pointe. I have never seen an awkward girl on pointe, and I've been to a lot of studios and shows in many different countries. Just own up to your elegance, lady! :)la vagabonde charmantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01176324277386597559noreply@blogger.com
