i had a teacher who taught us to memorize four counts or steps and place those sets, like a picture, in different locations, or sections of the mirror. as it came time to do the next step, we had too look at that area and visualize the set, and then do the next part of the combo. it was an interesting idea, and kind of worked for me, but i have a friend who finds that it has changed her dancing.

I enjoy convalescence; it is the part that makes the illness worthwhile.

Thanks so much! My ballet teacher makes us keep a ballet journal, where we write corrections, combinations, and stretching charts. We also have “words of the week” which we must write down, along with the meaning of the action and we are later tested on them. We also have many assignments such as numbering the corners of the room with a certain system, and writing why we love to dance. We also had to write about a ballet, introduce the characters, say which we would most like to portray, and how we would do it. It has helped me advance so much in her class!

I love this post. I’m 38 and just started ballet 5 months ago. Despite my sometimes aches and pains, despite the fact that I’m older and slightly less flexible and despit the fact that I keep getting discouraged in class as of late I still get up every morning and practice. The only difference is that the life stuff came first for me. It works in either direction. Are you a follower of Christ? Just asking because you made a reference to faith.

This is a great article. I teach preschool ballet and mommy and me ballet in SC. I love working with this age. You have posted a some great ideas. I made up a song/rhyme to introduce basic ballet terms to my toddlers and pre ballerinas. You can check it out at my mommy and me blog at http://www.mommyandmeballet.blogspot.com. I look forward to keeping up with your blog/site.
