Next time I call myself Imelda, I’ll mention I like PRETTY shoes! | we.do.ballet

https://wedoballet.wordpress.com/2015/07/10/next-time-i-call-myself-imelda-ill-mention-i-like-pretty-shoes

My journey back to the barre, with my (oh my gosh now he's) 10 year old son along for his own wild ride! Next time I call myself Imelda, I’ll mention I like PRETTY shoes! Home from podiatry. No fracture! But I haven’t escaped therapeutic footwear. When I’m pain free I can return gradually to class. So, for the next couple of weeks, I’ll be breaking up my couch riding foot icing sessions with stretching and doing Pilates on the Total Gym to keep the rest of my body moving and hips level. Oh, I’m sor...

Well, crap! Anyway, summer update. | we.do.ballet

https://wedoballet.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/well-crap-anyway-summer-update

My journey back to the barre, with my (oh my gosh now he's) 10 year old son along for his own wild ride! Anyway, summer update. Second class was cut short for me yesterday in the second jump combination when I had to leave the floor mid exercise, grabbed my foot, then started to cry as LadyM looked over and asked “what’s going on? Having to stop dancing mid exercise was not only painful but but excruciatingly scarey! Because of the sesamoiditis last year (same foot) primary care put in the referral right...

First week of summer. Check. | we.do.ballet

https://wedoballet.wordpress.com/2015/06/20/first-week-of-summer-check

My journey back to the barre, with my (oh my gosh now he's) 10 year old son along for his own wild ride! First week of summer. Check. So stiff. So sore. Just gotta get through this week. It feels good. But used. Tired. I wore my old Spotlights to Sunday’s Level 2 class and the brand new Freed Studio Pros for barre in Intermediate on Thursday and Friday. Well, there you go. Boring post. Just keeping myself accountable. School’s out for summer! Words of wisdom from the boy… ». July 2, 2015 at 1:17 pm.

Hey there! Quick update, long ramble. | we.do.ballet

https://wedoballet.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/hey-there-quick-update-long-ramble

My journey back to the barre, with my (oh my gosh now he's) 10 year old son along for his own wild ride! Quick update, long ramble. This morning I went through my full range of motion and weight bearing exercise test stuff. I haven’t done these in days because each time I hit the limit it’s so frustrating, and I feel like it sets me back. I’m supposed to go slowly and find the limit. How much weight before it hurts. How far flexed before it hurts. 8221; feeling never came. But why was I there? I hope you...

My journey back to the barre, with my (oh my gosh now he's) 10 year old son along for his own wild ride! Keep it Class-y Christmas. Christmas was hugely successful in our little family. We spent the day relaxing at home before heading over to my mother-in-law’s for a holiday dinner I did not have to prepare! And non-ballet-ballet-class gifts seemed to be the theme of the day. He’s yet to put his ballet things in the bag, but says it’s exactly what he wanted… so… there’s that! This is his last year in the...

My journey back to the barre, with my (oh my gosh now he's) 10 year old son along for his own wild ride! Words of wisdom from the boy…. BoyMowgli was hopping around outside my kitchen entry (no dancing in the kitchen. That’s a rule! And started cranking his little first position farther and farther beyond his natural turn out. I told him to do one big saute and hold the plie when he landed. “There that’s your first! And it’s fabulous! 8220;Everyone’s the same good at parallel! I bet yours is too. You are...

Owies are owie, but making homemade ice packs is fun. | we.do.ballet

https://wedoballet.wordpress.com/2015/07/09/owies-are-owie-but-making-homemade-ice-packs-is-fun

My journey back to the barre, with my (oh my gosh now he's) 10 year old son along for his own wild ride! Owies are owie, but making homemade ice packs is fun. Since I’m laying here on the couch icing my foot and eating a biscuit instead of getting ready for class this morning, I figure I may as well tell you about the joyous pastime that is homemade icepack making. Really, though. These are fun to make… and relatively speaking, great to use. 8211; 2-3 drops of food coloring in the bottom of a bag. Give i...

Happy birthday America! | we.do.ballet

https://wedoballet.wordpress.com/2015/07/04/happy-birthday-america

My journey back to the barre, with my (oh my gosh now he's) 10 year old son along for his own wild ride! Well, it’s the 4th of July. Mother Nature’s been doing her best to literally rain on all the parades here today, but we’re fairly easily entertained. All in all, a pretty nice way to spend the holiday. And for a dose of extreme patriotism and a nice ballet tie-in: This is how I spent yesterday’s ronde de jambes! Check out his YouTube site. Side note: I didn’t know until now that his creativity e...

My journey back to the barre, with my (oh my gosh now he's) 10 year old son along for his own wild ride! I think we’re ready to talk…. Just kidding. We’ve been busy, not traumatized. But seriously, friends. It was a week! You may also remember that Snowzilla tore through the area, and arrived just in time for theater week! Like literally the day that the company staff arrived in the area and just hours before we were due at the theater for rehearsals. 8221; is a close paraphrase. After a bit of a circula...
