If you take a yearly registration though, it is about 20€ but still... It is because of that that I wasn't able to begin ballet before my 24 years old! <br />I hope you will be Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-41162407485798870942015-07-19T14:59:04.926+03:002015-07-19T14:59:04.926+03:00Opiskelin Saksassa parisen vuotta, mutta aloitin b...Opiskelin Saksassa parisen vuotta, mutta aloitin baletin vasta Suomessa. En tiedä olisko siellä ollut mahdollisuus harrastaa balettia, mutta yliopiston yhteydessä oli myös urheiluopettajiksi opiskelevien korkeakoulu. Nyt kun muistelen, kävin siellä sirkustekniikka-kurssilla!

Uusien asioitten oppiminen, tekniikan ja ilmaisun kehittäminen sekä itsensä haastaminen on ainakin minulla oleellinen osa baletin opiskelussa/harrastuksessa... Toki, jos mitään muuta vaihtoehtoa ei olisi, menisin vaikka pelkästään perustasolle. Pysyis ainakin perusosaaminen yllä. Harmi kun baletti on niin kallis laji, etenkin kun edistyneellä tasolla treenaaminen vaatisi sen kolme kertaa Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-81041629901924452892015-07-17T19:09:47.670+03:002015-07-17T19:09:47.670+03:00Ymmärrän toki että noin pitkään tanssineena kaipaa...Ymmärrän toki että noin pitkään tanssineena kaipaa muutakin haastetta kuin perus tenduet ja pliet ja sautee - hypyt.

Joku vuosi tutkin ihan mielenkiinnosta, mutta silloin en löytänyt jatkotason tunteja. Tulevan kauden tarjontaa en ole vielä katsellut.

I believe that only happened because I was no longer part of that community (it was before facebook and blogging). Having the support of fellow dancers definitely helps with the self-motivation :).
