It's the time of year when ballet dancers begin auditioning for summer intensives--a must for aspiring ballerinas. My homgurl's first audition is next week, and she's hoping to spend a month dancing in one of the following programs: Houston Ballet, Ballet West, Maple Conservatory, Washington Ballet, or Pacific Northwest. We're saving School of American Ballet for next year, when she has a bit of experience under her leotard.
One of the requirements at every audition is that you have a head shot and a pose in first arabesque. She's been practicing her poses in front of the mirror, and this Saturday our good friend Jill will be taking her pictures. We can't wait. Here's a video of an up-and-coming ballet dancer. Don't you love her?
Here's a blog filled with useful summer intensive information, just in case you'll be auditioning too.
Oh, I hope it's Ballet West. I'm a huge ballet fan, and she IS lovely.
ReplyDeleteBallet West is our first choice. We can live with family, and their program is solid. Maybe we should come live with you:)
