December's most wanted is pointe shoes.
Not a new pair of pointes, or a specific brand, make, or model but the chance to actually dance in them. You see, I am currently experiencing 'ballet-pangs' and cravings for class.
2016 has taken away my regular class and I am torn over what I still have access to. It doesn't give me the fulfillment that my old class did and yet when I do manage to attend (in between how intense work/life has been) it reminds me of how much I miss dancing and how I wish I could have a ballet class like I used to.
I miss the feel of pointe shoes and dancing on them. I miss the grace and the sense of achievement that ballet gives. I miss the strength of being a ballerina, the flexibility and the discomfort that means you are doing it right. And I miss the social side of it.
So that is December's most wanted. It's not just pointe shoes, it's having a regular ballet class to attend.
So do I !!
ReplyDeleteI injured myself and stopped dancing for 5 weeks in October-November and it was sooooooo long!
I miss ballet classes (and my pointe shoes) even if I still dance at home... it is not the same thing! Congrats on your new blog!
I've been doing barre work at home but it's definitely not the same! I miss pirouettes and a long adage in the centre. Really hope it picks up in 2017!
DeleteThank you for your comment, and I hope your injury gets better soon!
