Happy tutu Tuesday! These piles of candy coloured Don Q tutus at @royaloperahouse look almost good enough to eat! 🍰 On the subject of costumes, I had the final fitting for my Chippolino costume today and I love it! 🌹🌹🌹 tomorrow is the first dress rehearsal. Wish me luck!
Week 6 & performance week has arrived! 🎟 This week is filled with rehearsals ahead of the opening night of Chippolino at Sadler’s Wells on Saturday 🍋🍅🍒🍓🍇🐶🌹 I’ve had my hair re-coloured ahead of the show (which was long overdue because I haven’t been able to squeeze it in!) by the incomparable @evieskaros_enasalon at @enasalon & I’m so happy with it! 🦁🔥 I think it will go well with my red & green costume! Thanks to @jakeowensphoto for this snap 📸
New blog post is up! You can now see all of the snaps from mine and @jakeowensphoto photo shoot adventure in Notting Hill 🍬🍬🍬 link in bio or go to www.daretodance.co 🎀
Ready for Saturday morning class & a week of rehearsals starting tomorrow! ☕️💪🏻 I can’t believe that our first performance of Chippolino will be taking place at Sadler’s Wells a week from today! We have a lot to do between now & then but I’m so looking forward to performing. How much are you dancing this weekend??
Sissonne-ing my @cloudandvictory Sissonne the Day tee in Notting Hill by @jakeowensphoto 🌸 . I had a really good class day yesterday... I wish every day could be like that! Isn’t it strange how some days your body does everything you want it to and others it refuses to cooperate? 😂 however my teacher gave me one small correction for pirouettes and I feel like it’s made my turns completely different and so much easier! (My opposite arm was late to close, if you want to try it out) . I hope I can recreate that strong feeling in class and rehearsals today- hope you all have a good-class-day too! 💕
I was saving this pic for a #tututuesday post but I forgot to post it 🤦🏼‍♀️ so let’s pretend it’s still Tuesday! How gorgeous are these tutus stacked up in the costume department at @royaloperahouse ?😍 . It really was a tutu Tuesday yesterday because some of us had first costume fittings for our upcoming performance of Chippolino & the studio was full of costumes! I got a first look at mine & I love it!
Everyone has their own journey. Don’t concern yourself with what other people are doing... it’s not up to you to pass judgements on their progress. The only people you need to answer to are your pedagogues and yourself. I know I have a way to go yet but it’s a process and I’m moving forwards a tiny bit each day. 🌸 Long rehearsal day over with today & we’ve finished the ballet. I’m looking forward to the opportunity of performing! Snap by the ever talented @jakeowensphoto 📸
I had an incredible day exploring @royaloperahouse and learning to make movies on a mobile phone as part of the #YoungROH ambassador training! 📱 It’s always so much fun getting to spend time in the wonderful building that is The Royal Opera House, and today we even got to meet & interview a lot of the staff that work behind the scenes which was really special. They’re such a great bunch! Thanks so much to everyone who gave us their time today and being so accommodating as always- here’s a snap from inside the costume department! 😍💃🏻
🌸🌷🌺 . Nearly at the end of week 4 of the Spring semester! Its been a bit of a whirlwind so far, but because I’m training so much I’m making fast progress and that’s really satisfying. I’ve also learned I’m capable of coping with more than I thought! 😅 . Going in to a weekend of classes & rehearsals plus tomorrow I get to spend the day at my favourite place, the @royaloperahouse for a #YoungROH ambassador training day! Can’t wait! 🌷
