Our teachers are very strict though, about not leaning into the barre, about keeping the barre-side shoulder down and relaxed, and the arm in front of you with elbow pointed down. We are encouraged to let go off the barre to check correct placement. I like to think the barre is there to help me, but it's no crutch! :)<br /><brJohannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-58538664496858017872012-04-05T01:50:00.355+03:002012-04-05T01:50:00.355+03:00I laughed to read that you found it easier without...I laughed to read that you found it easier without the barre. I find that's often true - we think the barre is helping, but even the slightest lean towards it can make all the difference to 'finding your centre'. <br /><br />You have such a great blog here, if you'd like to write a guest post or two on my blog (with a link back to your blog or blogs), I'd be really honoured.Marisa Wrighthttp://pointeshoesonline.com/have-your-say/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-71531186471757044462012-02-09T10:58:12.810+02:002012-02-09T10:58:12.810+02:00I don't know yet if I like it or not :) I sort...I don't know yet if I like it or not :) I sort of figured out the hopping bit, but I still gotta figure out how to make it look "elegant and beautiful" (teacher's words). Instead of plain silly :D<br /><br />But it was great letting go of the barre. Look, no hands! :)Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-87672697464010646332012-02-08T00:35:54.345+02:002012-02-08T00:35:54.345+02:00This is probably my least favorite step to do, but...This is probably my least favorite step to do, but I love watching the ballerinas who have mastered it performing it.

It's great that you got a taste, but ballet doesn't really work for occasional drop-ins. Anyway, at 42 you're not too old. You'd be suprised how much you could still advance! <br /><br />By the way, my mother has remained clueless about ballet to this day. I'm glad your daughter has Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-55370067678924233332012-02-06T21:55:45.122+02:002012-02-06T21:55:45.122+02:00My daughter takes ballet.

Completely not perpared for this class, I took it any ways. Well let me tell you how hard it is at 42yrs old getting into positions my body was not ready to do. To much to my surprise I didn't do all that bad and I now see what my daughter does 5 days aJuliette @ mission viejo carpet cleaninghttp://freshcleanhome.com/carpet-cleaning-mission-viejo-ca/noreply@blogger.com
