Returning to Relevé: January 2015
http://returningtoreleve.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
The trials and tribulations of returning to the world of dance as an adult student. The Pointe Shoe Saga. Saturday, January 31, 2015. What's in Your Bag? I was cleaning out my dance bag the other day, and started thinking about how personal a dance bag can be. Some people have small tote bags and only carry the necessities (e.g. tights, leotard, shoes), while others (like me) pack every possible thing they could ever need. Saturday, January 10, 2015. Stereotypical New Years Post. Got me thinking about wh...

Returning to Relevé: December 2014
http://returningtoreleve.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
The trials and tribulations of returning to the world of dance as an adult student. The Pointe Shoe Saga. Tuesday, December 9, 2014. The Freed is a no-go. I kind of want to curl up in a corner and cry. I've purchased and worn SO MANY pointe shoes this year (7 different shoes to be exact), and most of them for only a couple of classes each! It's a good thing I'm single with no dependents, because good Lord. Ye olde box of pointe shoe rejects. On the plus side, I *did* really like the 3/4'd shank and didn'...

https://innerballerina.wordpress.com/2013/08
The adventures of a ballerina who's been hidden inside until her mid-30's. Asymp; 2 Comments. On Monday, during class, we were trying to raise our legs – can’t remember now if it was grand battement or developpé! 8211; when the teacher said:. 8211; You don’t have to raise your legs up if your turn out is not the best and you need to move your hips to do it! Do it like Margot Fonteyn, she was absolutely beautiful and her leg would never raise more than this…! How human of her is that? Again, just like us.

Brightest Bulb In the Box: Beauty for Critical Minds: PopSugar Must Have September 2014 Review
http://www.brightestbulbinthebox.com/2014/10/popsugar-must-have-september-2014-review.html
Brightest Bulb In the Box: Beauty for Critical Minds. Sunday, October 26, 2014. PopSugar Must Have September 2014 Review. Subscription boxes are a little bit like gambling. At $40 a month, PopSugar Must Have is slightly higher stakes gambling. Here was the payout in September:. Tilo Modal Graduation Scarf in Raisin, retail value $125. Once I got everything layered, though, I totally changed my mind. These colors feel very autumnal without being dreary. I would never, ever. Pay $125 for it, though.).

Brightest Bulb In the Box: Beauty for Critical Minds: Birchbox September 2014 Review
http://www.brightestbulbinthebox.com/2014/10/birchbox-september-2014-review.html
Brightest Bulb In the Box: Beauty for Critical Minds. Monday, October 13, 2014. Birchbox September 2014 Review. Pretend it's a month ago. This was my Birchbox! Macadamia Professional Healing Oil Spray (travel size at 2 fl oz), retail value $14.50. I won't say that there is no evidence. That topical vitamin e can have any effects anything having to do with hair, but the evidence is shit like this study. It also has a nice sandalwood-y smell and it's not at all greasy. If there is one thing I hate as a per...

The adventures of a ballerina who's been hidden inside until her mid-30's. Tales of a pre-blog ballerina. Asymp; Leave a comment. Ok, kids sit down, I’m going to tell you a story. Long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away which translates into almost 3 years ago, in a studio 40 minutes away from home (by foot), I had my first ballet class. I’ve always wanted to take ballet classes since I had to stop when I was 14, so do it for me! So I went to the studio that was further from home, but still in a walkin...

Returning to Relevé: A Little Bit of Everything
http://returningtoreleve.blogspot.com/2015/05/a-little-bit-of-everything.html
The trials and tribulations of returning to the world of dance as an adult student. The Pointe Shoe Saga. Thursday, May 21, 2015. A Little Bit of Everything. Sorry for the radio silence, y'all! I've been pretty busy and haven't had a proper chance to sit down and blog, which of course means that I have a backlog of things to say (this is a little long). (Also, apologies for my liberal use of gifs.). Because of the whims of fate, I have suddenly found myself teaching three days a week! It was uplifting, e...

Returning to Relevé: July 2015
http://returningtoreleve.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
The trials and tribulations of returning to the world of dance as an adult student. The Pointe Shoe Saga. Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Today is the 1/2 way point for all of my challenges, and everything is going well except the stupid plank. I hit the minute mark a few days ago, but have been having a hard time making it any further (even 1 minute 10 seconds is too much). I don't know if its because I'm more tired this week (my schedule is rather crazy), or what. Frustrating! Monday, July 13, 2015. First, c...

Temperamental | The Inner Ballerina
https://innerballerina.wordpress.com/2013/10/21/temperamental
The adventures of a ballerina who's been hidden inside until her mid-30's. Asymp; 13 Comments. Think about this: is there a more temperamental thing than pointe shoes? I usually have pointe classes on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. So on the first class of the week, pointe shoes always feel awkward. They feel tight, kinda hurt on the big toe, sometimes I even wonder if I got the wrong ones! Now – don’t you agree? Aren’t they temperamental? Why do they feel so awkward after a couple of days? One canno...
