When I'm frustrated or whatever, just thinking of pliés is enough to calm me down - lovely music and slow, soothing music !<br> <br> Take care with the splits - they aren't really necessary unless you are an aspiring Darcy Bussell!tag:katiefox.blog.co.uk,2006-05-17:/2006/05/11/update~792055/#c1100625Katiefox2006-05-17T04:16:29+02:002006-05-17T04:16:29+02:00I've heard of ISTD. We don't have it here. Mostly only RAD and CSTD. RAD is still the popular one, but CSTD is catching on..<br> <br> Cool! You have your own school! :-) <br> <br> I'm not that good actually. I don't dance competitively nor for shows. I almost had the chance to. But I think I'm too old for that now. Stiff bones and all. I only have lessons once a week. <br> <br> I just tore my muscles while doing a split on Monday. <br> <br> I started ballet when I was 6. Yup, I love it. It wasn't easy to sustain interest though. I almost dropped out once, but then I watched Swan Lake and fell in love with ballet again. <br> :-Dtag:katiefox.blog.co.uk,2006-05-16:/2006/05/11/update~792055/#c10997802006-05-16T22:03:43+02:002006-05-16T22:03:43+02:00You sound really commited and clearly really love it. You must be good too, to get that far and want to keep going.<br> <br> I started in Cecchetti Ballet then did my Majors in RAD. I am now a teacher of ISTD Cecchetti Ballet. i wonder if CSTD is similar to ISTD (Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing).<br> <br> I have my own school and am just about to take a higher teaching exam. Seems we dancers never stop learning! Both my daughters dance too!<br> <br> Let me know what you get up to - do you do shows?tag:katiefox.blog.co.uk,2006-05-16:/2006/05/11/update~792055/#c1097954Katiefox2006-05-16T16:38:45+02:002006-05-16T16:38:45+02:00Yes, I do ballet too. I'm currently doing CSTD Elementary. My foundation (ie Grade 1-8) was from RAD. I should be taking the exams this year.<br> <br> How about you?tag:katiefox.blog.co.uk,2006-05-15:/2006/05/11/update~792055/#c10943722006-05-15T21:20:08+02:002006-05-15T21:20:08+02:00Hi - I see your interests include Ballet. Do you still dance or just go see?<br> <br> Best wishes<br> <br> tag:katiefox.blog.co.uk,2006-01-01:/2006/01/01/ushering_the_new_year~430699/#c504954skip24682006-01-01T07:39:41+01:002006-01-01T07:39:41+01:00please keep us posted - good lucktag:katiefox.blog.co.uk,2005-12-22:/2005/12/22/money_rolling_in_soon~408054/#c4779252005-12-22T16:53:52+01:002005-12-22T16:53:52+01:00I once had a lawyer who did nothing but look down at me and make me feel small and stupid. I pointed out that not only did I hold a doctorate and a few degrees but essentially HE was working for ME so I call the shots. He was quite polite then. tag:katiefox.blog.co.uk,2005-11-27:/2005/11/27/jobless~341380/#c362978Hanna2005-11-27T15:33:33+01:002005-11-27T15:33:33+01:00Good luck with your job interview.<br> Yes income is always important to keep living.<br> I hope you can balance between work and study!<br>
