I need classic ballet but...
I'm a perfectionist concerning ballet. Ballet needs perfection. I love ballet, I love dance. I'd like dance for my pleasure but at a good level. That's very difficult because a lot of classes do not offer a good level or they are full of professional dancers. And I can't follow a class with professionals who dance every day, many hours a day. I don't want be ridiculous.
Moreover, I changed a lot. I need to open myself to new things, I need more freedom. Ballet gives freedom by its artistic side but all is always very clear, clean, ruled, precise. I like it a lot. That's why ballet is so beautiful and tends to perfection but right now I also want have fun. I found the perfect class.
A Bollywood dance class! I saw Indian movies and I like. It's completely different from ballet and may be that's why I like it.
Well, last week I've been to get information at a dance school and could watch a class. It was a lot of fun. No critics by the teachers, no ironic or caustic comments, no obsession of perfection, no stress.
So, yesterday, I took the class. That was great. I even did not think about what I was doing. Just relaxing, having fun, throw the stress far away by moving on a joyful music.
I'm going to oriental dance as well. It's not my favorite dance. Not at all. But since I know the teacher, I wanted try. It was amazing to see that it is not usefull to feel pain to dance oriental. In classic, if you don't feel any pain, any muscles aches or bad feet it means that you're not doing a good job. In oriental you just need to feel well. And that is just WOW!! I can dance without pain. Believe me or not but I've never thought it could be possible.
I will find a classic ballet class because I NEED it. Yes, I need to feel my muscles are working, I need to feel control over my body and my mind, I need to feel emotion by a movement due to work and effort, I need to see the beauty of ballet (sorry for those who do not know ballet, they must thing I'm crazy somehow
) But I need to try new things as well and feel more free.
I might perform oriental in a show in April. If so, you will get some pictures of course!
