Bitter sweet World Ballet Day 2019

I’ve always loved World Ballet Day! I look forward to seeing, watching or reading about everyones love and passion for this beautiful art form.

Today is a little bitter sweet as for the first time in many years I won’t be spending World Ballet Day on my toes in the studio. 

Ballet taught be many principles that I continue to use daily. Ballet showed me what pain is and how important it is to take care of my body, discipline, hard work, grace, elegance, routine and making something look a hell of a lot easier than it actually is. I am forever grateful for the many years I spent in the studio, on stage and traveling the world all because of this incredible art called Ballet! 

If you’ve ever performed on stage you’ll understand the rush that fills every inch of your body and I can honestly say I was (and still am) addicted. Of course there were so many days when my body wanted to give up but my mind managed to keep me on my feet. Without Ballet as the solid foundation I would never have been able to perform in all of the different genres of dance, and for that I am forever grateful.
