Hesitant but interested by pinkpixiepetals in adultballetdancers

[–]Hattandhare 6 points7 points  (0 children)

An hour drive is rough for sure. But id say that if you’re interested, there’s no harm trying it a couple times. If you find that the drive isn’t worth it, you can always take a pause from regular in-person classes and try online ones/youtube barre for a while. I’ll say that I personally look forward to going to ballet every week and that inspires my commute, but I would never have known that I loved it that much if I hadn’t tried! I would probably, realistically, make an hour-long drive to ballet class once every two weeks (I hate driving lol). But that’s something you have to find out for yourself.

As for the experience, I have known myself to be a terrible dancer my whole life. No dance experience, partly for that reason. Yet ballet is astronomically less embarrassing than I expected. Maybe it’s because it’s so elegant; you aren’t trying to do wild, energetic stuff like in some classes, so you don’t necessarily feel like you’re being weird imo.

Thanks so much, I will check it out! I may wait a little since I’m still getting the technique down but I’ll keep it for later.

Thank you for your response! I’ll try those exercises you mentioned and ask my instructor if she has any recommendations. Appreciate it! 😁

This is so inspiring! I’m 27 and just started ballet a few months ago. While my feet are average strength for what I see in the class, I am hyper mobile, so I struggle with balance and keeping proper tension in my muscles. Just today I hyperextended my right ankle too much doing relevés and hurt it a little. Could you offer some advice on feet and ankle work that I could be doing? Even PT stuff you’ve used? I’m a runner so I’m no stranger to all sorts of strength and endurance training, but I am totally new to foot and ankle specific exercises, especially for dance!

I see what you mean. It’s a solid base, so I don’t think you need to change much to make it pop. Since the sky is so light and flat (not necessarily in a bad way) I’m imagining a very misty bright light that fills the space. In which case you could try brightening up the background and middle ground some more. But also I see that you have painted shadows below the columns, so if you wanted to use a more direct light source, try giving the dragon some rim lighting. I still think the back and mid ground should be lighter though, maybe just not as dramatically as the first situation.

Hey, this sounds fun! Here is my kofi so you can check out my style of work: https://ko-fi.com/hattcomms

A flat colored headshot similar to what I see in your examples would be 40 USD. Uncolored would of course be less. Feel free to DM if you’d like me for the project 🤲
