I didn´t say they are ALWAYS wrong! I said, the warm up they recommend doesn´t fit my body...
-
I´m quite familiar with these! But nonetheless, if what science says doesn´t fit my body, I don´t do it! You probably know the saying "the knowledge of today is ther error of tomorrow"? So, science can be wrong...

Yes, Prix de Lausanne cleary favours boys! That´s one of the reasons I don´t like it (the other is that I am not a fan of the French style, I like Vaganova much better)!
-
Yes, I know the 2007, but it is not good for me because the shank is harder, you can´t go through demi-pointe and the platform is smaller (not much, but enough to feel the difference! I was very happy when the 3007 came out and now, it is so difficult to get! If anybody knows whether it will still be produced, would be great!

Hello, does anybody know whether the Grishko 3007 is discontinued? My retailer told me she hasn´t been able to get it for a few months now! I was lucky, she had one pair left for me, but if it discontnued, I will get into trouble in the future...

Ideas for on the go breakfast and lunch for dance college students
Aurora3 replied to MCOS's topic in Doing Dance
I don´t have any ideas for hot food (I only like cold food as snacks), but for keeping cool, you can use a little cool-bag... -
I don´t say it is good if any teacher offends on purpose anyone, in a nomal school or a Vacational school! Nonetheless, any teenager sonetimes hears or reads something and is offended by that! At that age, girls are often mean to each other and also often misunderstand others! And they think anything they hear refers to themselves... I think you all know such situations!

I listened to this podcast. But I think, you have to take into consideration that it is quite common for girls at this age that they are dissatisfied with their bodies and offended by everything they hear, no matter whether they are at a professional school or not!

Questions regarding dancing timetable for a 9 year-old!
Aurora3 replied to Garnier's topic in Doing Dance
I think it really depends on the kid. Some are able to take 90-minute classes at that age, others are not. You know your child daughter best! But if I were you, I would go for the stronger programme. Good ballet classes are rare and being the best in the class might be good for the ego, but not good for learning. Contemporary, however, I wouldn´t take. I think it only disturbs the learning process in ballet until a dancer is pretty advanced! -
Can you tell me, which technique is taught at that school? Vaganova or French?
-
I judge a "warm-up" by how I do in class after that. And I found out that this "scientifically proven" warm-up is not good for me personally. There are also more dynamic exercises in floor barre and PBT, maybe this is enough for me to "get the heart rate up". (And I need more for rotation, etc. than this kind of warm up povides to be well prepared for class.) But ballet class starts slow anyway!
-
Yes, I have heard of the warm up research, but for me personally, I have found out that this kind of warm up is not good for ballet class... I really prefer PBT or floor barre, than all the muscles are ready for class!
-
Yes, I agree, it is not a "cross training", but a conditioning for ballet! But I like it a lot because it helps me to understand movement patterns that you need in ballet class and it is also a great warm-up for ballet! I think, ballet is not comparable to many sports because it requires very refined coordination more than mere strength, so you can´t apply principles that works for "most sports" to ballet! The backalast, however, I think, nobody needs. If you need a "reminder" for posture, you can easily make that yourself with tape - much cheaper...!

I don´t know that school, but in Munich, I´d much rather recommend the state run Ballet Academy (MuH)
