Ballerina in my head. Dance, Promises and Prostitution. Today is a Gift →. The Worst Movie Ever? Or Misogyny is Hilarious! May 24, 2012. My dear friends, this post is not ballet related, but I need an outlet, so excuse me whilst I rant. In our teens and liked the first movie, so were hoping for a funny, nostalgic afternoon. In one scene, there were scores of half-naked teenage girls having a party, when they are joined by the main characters, who are in their 30s. Well, we know they are not. After the mo...

Interpreting en Pointe: November 2012
http://interpretingenpointe.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 5, 2012. Ballet class in Paris. So I told you a few days ago that I was attending my first ballet class in Paris. Well, it hapenned before I went to London. I'm still not sure if I liked it or not. Which, now that I think of it, probably means that I didn't (? Or not much, at least. New leos make Nerea happy, though! That wasn't even worth commenting. Now you don't get to repeat it". What the what, nice reader? I mean, seriously! So I guess I'm going to try at another studio. Ever since ...

Interpreting en Pointe: October 2012
http://interpretingenpointe.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 21, 2012. Long time no see, nice reader! I am in Paris! I arrived here almost a month ago and I am already working as a Spanish Language Assistant at two high schools near the Opéra Garnier. which is so cool and also kind of unbelievable! I'm starting to get used to this life: new home, new friends, new food, new things to discover! Tomorrow I'm going to my first ballet class since the end of June (that's a four-month-long break! So I hope everything goes well! And/or Phantom of the Opera.

http://interpretingenpointe.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 23, 2014. Wow, it's been a while since the last time I posted here! Almost two years and my life has changed a whole lot. I'll try not to give too many details, because these two years have definitely been crazy and I don't want to get you (too) bored. Let's see where we were! And a contemporary piece set to inspiring music by Ludovico Einaudi. Rehearsing La Bayadère - Photo (c) Abocados. Contemporary piece - Photo (c) Abocados. So that is pretty much all for now. It's nice to be back.

Swan Lake, Hope and Prayer | Ballerina in my head
https://ballerinahead.wordpress.com/2012/05/06/swan-lake-hope-and-prayer
Ballerina in my head. The woman in my head. Dance, Promises and Prostitution →. Swan Lake, Hope and Prayer. May 6, 2012. That music… oh that music is just heavenly. The Swan theme is just so beautiful, sad, filled with tragedy, melancholy and longing. But also, strangely, hope. The more I listened, the more that music seemed to me like a prayer… a prayer from the heart, a desperate plea for something… redemption? It was around this time that I watched. Of Gods and Men. A movie about Trappist monks living...

Do you think they might have, even for a fleeting second, thought about their own role in the fates of these women? May 21, 2012 at 6:53 pm. May 22, 2012 at 2:02 pm.

Interpreting en Pointe: January 2013
http://interpretingenpointe.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 21, 2013. I guess one of the most exciting parts of ballet is that you can go to any place in the world, take a class and be able to understand the teacher, even if you hardly speak their language. The thing is, I do speak French, so I thought ballet classes would be quite easy to follow. especially since almost the whole terminology is always in French (even in Spain). But NO, nice reader! Things are not that simple. And you know why? Well, because in France a tendu. Here, a tendu. Have ...
