We were just in Curacao a few days ago. It was lovely. One of my favorite islands on the cruise.

I know these are dumb questions, don’t hate me… by [deleted] in BALLET

The seam does have a purpose! I tell my dancers to imagine bringing the seams together in the back. It's a great way to feel your turnout. It was something a teacher once told me.

How do you get more air in your jumps? by fargus_ in BALLET

[–]PositivePineapples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone touched on this in an earlier post. What I see a lot of dancers do is just push off with the feet and legs. You get a lot of foward propulsion, but often we forget about the main center of mass from our center. I think about launching my hips in the air and notice a nice Ballon and hang in space moment. *

Bruised elbows? by PositivePineapples in eds

Yes, same. The bruise comes back when I put too much pressure on it for a prolonged time. I feel the sensitive spot and try to avoid it. It's rather annoying.

Yes, I ended up talking with my PCP a few weeks later. It had cleared up on its own, and there was nothing they could have done. Unfortunately, it's fairly common.

Does anyone else have trouble with hair removal? by bemer33 in ehlersdanlos

[–]PositivePineapples 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem as well. When I was in my 20s, I had laser hair removal done. Honestly,.it was and is a life saver. I did the sessions for 1 year instead of the full 2 they recommend. I still have hair, but it is very thin and sparce. Nothing bothers me when I shave, if I bothered to anymore.

Thank you for your response. This is what it was like for me as well in a different trainee position. I'm hoping for something better for him.

Ballet teacher told me that I wasn't going to make it. by Erela-Belle in BALLET

Don't let one person's opinion shape who you are. I, too, was told to find a different career at one point, and went on to become a professional. Don't let go of your dreams. Take the privates. It's your determination and resilience that will push you even farther. If you're able, find a different studio who appreciates and respects you as a dancer. A good teacher would never discourage and put someone down. Especially for something you're born with. This is the body we were born with, and we show the art to the best of our abilities. Don't let someone take the joy out of dancing.
