I Just Had To Share This

Hi, pyewacket. I studied dance for a while when I was younger. I loved the beautiful ballerinas but being a mere 5'4" I never let myself go down the road of dreaming about being one myself. I learned early one that maintaining my dance lessons helped to keep me fit and flexible, making me better at the things I was good at doing. I visited NYC recently, and stayed for over a week in the Hudson Valley area. I wish I had thought to contact you and invite you to lunch. Next time, perhaps.

wow nice O.o i think i should start taking ballet classes xD, nah just kidding

So ellecant! . And I toostudied ballet when I was 5 I think it was. but I do love to dance as I dance around the house now with the music on the radio. So does my grand daughter she has had good rhytum since she could hold on to things.

What a great dance video! Wouldn't that be a thrill to have an entire stage all to yourself to dance on?!?!?! WOW! I LOVE ballet! When I was a kid my mother used to make me dance for her friends, who were mostly not interested in watching an 8 year old dance, and she also sent me to ballet class. The thing is, at that time I was more interested in building tree forts and playing boisterous games with my friends. My mother would call me in from all my fun and I would HAVE to go to ballet class, where all the little girls were so dainty and clean and dressed in pink ribbons and bows. Gawd, I felt like an alien! Needless to say I lost all interest in dancing for quite a while. Then when I was about 17 I saw a ballet on PBS that hooked me back into it. Of course then I got to spend the next dozen years regretting that I had not pursued ballet instruction as a child! Oh well, this is actually a better time for me to be studying ballet anyway... I no longer have a bunch of friends hollering outside my door for me to come out and play and it gives me something to do in my dotage that I feel passionate about. I have a ballet video for beginners that I like to practice, but I really like belly dancing too! Those Veena & Neena 'exercise' videos are very fun. I am including a link to a solo performance by Veena that comes at the end of one of their videos. Their costumes are fabulous! They get them from Turkey. I would like to order a few of them myself! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biViVzIBlLk&feature=related

Hi Pye I have never danced ballet mainly something like 'dirty dancing' and routine and rock, but I do love ballet it is just something I have never done..so will look up the link and see the video..bb littleowl

I've watched it some, but not enough to consider myself a FAN. Can be pretty though.

Sigh... What a beautiful dance pye. (By the way. we also have the same nickname, mine is without an e though. ) I love ballet... I actually love dancing like you. I'm a frustrated ballerina. Lol. I've always always wanted to take ballet lessons but whenever I'd tell my parents, my mom would tell me that my legs would "get bigger". My dad didn't mind then but since my mom said no, he had to agree as well. Sigh. So I had no choice but to watch in the background. I did develop my dancing skills though. I can do modern, jazz, ethnic and ballroom dancing. Salsa and Rhumba is really nice. Flamenco is another type of dance that I've been practicing on. Very sultry and sexy.

Ohhhh Myyyy Godddddddddddddddd I so freaking miss the ballet! I haven't been in years.. Wow..Thanks for the reminder I can go on youtube .. I was there checking them out for an hour! lol oxxoxoxoxo

Wow! What a treat, pyewacket. Her grace and fluidity of movement are something to behold. I was adamant that I would watch this video(on your recommendation), even though it took me 3 attempts to finally succeed. I had to reinstall my flash player but it was well worth it.

oh pye thats so beautiful, I loved it, I am very fond of ballet and classical music. shewas just lovely and right for themusic were all her movies. I never studied ballet buthave watched snippets and enjoyed it so much. the music seemed to blend modern with snips of classical music too.You were lucky to live in the new york city area and get to watch some really great ballet. thanks so much for sharing this with us. I really appreciated it so much.

If you still have the anxiety and will to dance your self or see dancing you can perform. The dancing perhaps is a practice and if you stop practicing for a longer period your speed to dance will come down and you may not compete with the music in such faster speed as you were in earlier age.

Hi pye, That was so beautiful and I love the music, and I do love ballet but wish I could understand the story, she is beautiful as well and I could watch that all night, thank you pye for sharing this beautiful dance and music with us. Bright Blessings Tamara

Well Pye, I also did want to be a ballerina when I grew up! That was until I started taking dancing lessons and didn't like the shoes because they hurt! What did I know, I was only 5! Didn't have much tolerance then either! So there went the ballet career and the tap too! Tried that at the same time. I had fun for awhile, but got bored with that quickly. Wasn't very good sticking to anything ever. Took violin and flute too. Same thing. Too hard, not comfy! Been going through my whole life that way. It's amazing I even finished high school and started college-no didn't finish that either. But I do love to watch ballet and I did like to dance until the arthritis took over the knees! But even that wouldn't stop me if I was in the mood! Will check out the video, I promise!

nice one~

I don't know how to do much dancing at all. I love to watch people do all kinds of dnaces though. There are alot of moves that they make that amazes me. Ballet is a neat form of dance too.
