Dancin with the Pros!

RDT or Repertory Dance Theater is an amazing professional dance company that is based right here in SLC! This is a wonderful photo that is from their website. If you want to check them out go to: www.rdtutah.org They teach classes and have awesome performances!

Ok so now that I put my plug in for RDT, I want to do a little explaining :) This semester I am on the modern dance co. at Weber. I absolutely love it! This semester we are doing a bit of a project with RDT. Ya, that's right. We are working with RDT haha. It's a little something called Green Map. You can find more information about it on the website (found above) but basically we are promoting green and sustainable living among young students. Involvement in the community and cultural stuff is a big part of it as well. I love this company, and they are so talented! I want to be like them when I grow up :) Well now...I get to perform with them!!!! Yay!!! I'm so excited! Me and a few others from the company are going to be a part of Local Business. It's kind of a small part, but I still think the opportunity to dance with them is awesome! I cannot wait and I just wanted to share my excitement with you all.

Wish me luck!

Bangles Manic Monday

Well folks...I don't normally have ridiculous Mondays, but yesterday sucked. This song is an ode to my crappy day yesterday. Enjoy :)

Ballet

I have a new love. Ballet. I have never done ballet before. I've always found it fascinating and beautiful, but never had the opportunity to experience it before. This semester I am taking my first real ballet class.



My professor's name is Jennifer. She is absolutely amazing! I am so glad that she came to teach us "beginners" this semester! As a professional dancer, she certainly knows what she is talking about. Every time I'm in class I just can't get enough of it. Jennifer has an excellent way of teaching and I know that I am improving every day. (As a side note...ballet is the best way to tone your body!)



There is something magical about ballet. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just amazes me. I love the feeling of just floating above the floor. I love the feeling all of my muscles working for just a simple tondu. I love the classical music. I love to use the bar. I love balancing and turning. I just love it all! Yay for ballet!



I'd like to think that maybe one day I could be a ballerina...but for now, this one class is satisfying my want of ballet. If you haven't ever done it before, look into it. Nothing can make you feel poise and grace like a ballet class :)
