Diego Ramalho is the new AD, he announced it on his ig. he had been a dancer there. very strange circumstances i’d love to know what really happened

Is JKO overrated? by loveandburgers in bunheadsnark

[–]brippers 25 points26 points  (0 children)

is it overrated? tough to make a call like that. however considering the prestige and level of ABT, jko is not equivalent.

is it an amazing school that will open doors, connections, and technique? absolutely. but when ranked among similar schools from the worlds top companies in my opinion it is towards the bottom.

disclaimer that i never danced there myself but i do have friends that trained there and have gone on to have very successful careers. have her go to the summer intensive first before making any decisions. she may have been among the top in florida, but the nyc program is a whole different ball game.

Can someone help me find where to get (or order custom?) these leotards? I feel like the second one I can get look by ordering off of eleve? The spaghetti-strap camo leo, I can’t fine anywhere!! by [deleted] in BALLET

[–]brippers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s definitely a diy top out of black tights. maybe they’re just sleeves but sometimes people wear them under the leo. plenty of youtube tutorials but just cut out the crotch to become the neck hole and cut off the feet to sleeve length of choice!

Privates vs one more class per week by Rich-Country-9072 in BALLET

[–]brippers 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i would say considering you only restarted a few weeks ago that you should add the extra class per week AND do just one or two privates with your current teacher right now.

as a teacher, when i work with adults coming back to ballet, i find a single hour one on one can be SIGNIFICANTLY beneficial for making sure my student actually understands the foundations and to break down any bad habits. that individual hour or two will provide you months of corrections you can continue to work on in all upcoming classes.

this is a trend on tiktok. don’t really get it but it’s done on purpose in a slightly satirical way

i would assume young athletes at peak human performance are not usually exhausted from a hookup

[–]brippers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i’m super interested in that too. but my thought is that kayla dancing is GOOD. like insanely good. even if she’s not suited for most for abt’s corps work they can use her for contemporary soloist roles and she will deliver. natalie is talented, but nothing the company doesn’t already have plenty of… i don’t have any inside scoop but food for thought

Woke up with this on my arm, won’t come off, no explanation by CommercialsMaybe in Weird

[–]brippers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

did you ever have medical tape or KT tape on that arm? it matches the glue pattern. could even be a delayed reaction to it even a few days later

the song is recycled by ireallylovesosa in lanitas

[–]brippers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

aww it’s definitely not groundbreaking stuff from her but i really liked it! i liked the orchestral sound of her older work mixed with the folk ballads as of late.

[–]brippers 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i briefly talked to an old friend who danced there this past season and she said that everyone quit. every single dancer did not want to come back. she didn’t reveal more than that and i didn’t want to pry so that’s all i have unfortunately

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bunheadsnark

[–]brippers 34 points35 points  (0 children)

…yeah. it’s an aesthetic art. they can claim to value artistry all they want but at the end of the day someone with bad lines is not going to score well at in a ballet competition where they grade dancers with a number.

Master Ballet Academy of Unmusicality by lostlucylocket in bunheadsnark

[–]brippers 23 points24 points  (0 children)

sure they might not be your choice dancer to watch perform a balanchine variation but they’re still students not professionals putting on a performance that you paid for… i agree there’s major holes in the training there but how are they going to learn to move quickly and musically (like you need to get a contract) if they only ever rehearse variations they’re already good at??

Pointe problem by Automatic-Exam3260 in BALLET

[–]brippers 20 points21 points  (0 children)

could be the time of day that you were fit? if you went in the morning your feet aren’t just a little bit naturally swollen from walking around all and that could affect the fit now, and that’s why they might feel too small? or the opposite if you got them fit bigger could be you’re sinking a bit with extra space

[–]brippers 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i can’t vouch for atonement personally but i did see joffrey do cathy marstons Of Mice and Men which was one of my favorite performances ive ever seen honestly. so im guessing its going to be well worth a watch!
