Namarina is a dancing school, the place where I learnt ballet since I was three years old. And every year, we held a dancing competition or a ballet show. This year, Namarina Ballet & Jazz School presents Amor en Barcelona & Mustika Padma.
Amor en Barcelona is some kind of teenage love story. The story takes place in Barcelona, back during the late Victorian Era. I've been practicing for more than four months with my group. My group is in the fifth grade. The show will be divided into two sessions, so that the dancers will be able to have a little break. My role in this show will be as the people of Barcelona and I will dance in groups.
I'm excited for the production, since I've been practicing for months. And just to let you know, practicing for a production is tiring. Especially if we dance in groups, and one of the dancers does something wrong.

Hi Dara, I really liked how you posted about ballet! Are you in the production? What part will you play? You must be a very good ballet dancer as you have been dancing since you were 3! I used to learn ballet when I was 5, but my teacher was so scary I convinced my mum to take me out of the class! Do you want to be a professional dancer?
ReplyDeleteHello, Ms. H! I appreciate your comment, thank you. And yes, I'm in the production, I will play as the people of Barcelona with my classmates. To answer your question whether I'm good in ballet or not, I'm not sure, to be honest. Haha. Maybe you should watch the show and tell me whether I'm good or not:)
DeleteAND YES, I agree with you! Ballet teachers are very strict when it comes to dancing - especially flexibility. I used to ask my mom to take me out of the class, but she used to be a professional dancer and she wanted me to be a dancer as well. And to answer your last question, yes, I want to be a professional dancer.
DARA! a new production? wow! i've never heard about that story^^ my dancing school will also have a production on the 26th of October hahaha^^ by the way why are you interested in learning ballet instead of another dance genre?
ReplyDeleteHello, Sandra!
DeleteWhat's your production about? Mine's about 'teenagers love story' in Barcelona in the late Victorian Era. I think yours is going to be cool!
By the way, I'm not just interested in Ballet. But I'm also interested in 'Jazz Contemporary' and Hip Hop. I also like watching Traditional Dances:P
hi dara, it must be very exausting for you to learn ballet
ReplyDeletesince you were 3, the skill it selftakes years and years of practice and experience, like any other,sport i find footbal
to be my favorite sport ,but i dought that you like it.
do you know how much it takes to be a proffesional ballet dancer ?
Hi, Natan:)
DeleteIt's actually not that exhausting to learn ballet, but it does take years of practicing to be a good dancer (and it gets kind of boring sometimes).
Yeah, I think most boys likes football. And to be honest, I don't really like football and I'm not really good at it. If you've seen me played football, you'll know how terrible my skills are.
My ballet teacher always told me that to be a good ballet dancer, "You have to love ballet. Practice your skills and flexibility (splits, double splits, etc.) at home. Always practice so that you'll have strong core, back, feet, and legs and a flexible body. And never forget to impress the audience - dance gracefully".
