The school year has begun and I am so excited to start teaching ballet! The realities of having retired my career in professional dance have hardly set in, at least not in the way I was expecting. I had been dancing for so long, so intensely, striving for my own perfection, that I thought to come to a halt so abruptly would be stifling...but hardly! I am just so excited for what is to come my way this next season with teaching! I guess my mind is just so occupied with all the new things. I wonder if melancholy emotions will set in later. Who knows. All I know is that I'm beyond thrilled to transition out of a career that requires so much self-focus, and am ready to pour into the next generation of dancers! I am eager to encourage and build them up with solid ballet education and hope to spark their passion for it. I suppose whether one is a student or teacher, we all have goals and achievements we desire to reach this year. Today in this blog post, I want to share with you some of my favorite free online resources for dance students and teachers alike, resources that might just help bring us all a little closer to reaching our dreams this year. How lucky our generation is in this day and age to have such easy access to so much valuable and enriching information! Enjoy these resources!
Don't you just love the humor in the title of this website, Lazydancertips.com? I love how this website established by Alessia (who knows her stuff) promotes ballet as a fun healthy way of life for the trained dancer but also for the average joes out there too. She is right to advertise that ballet has so many benefits for anyone brave enough to explore it, and I love how her knowledge and education are made so accessible through her website with the online classes and programs offered that you can sign up for. Though the classes are not free, you can find workout plans that are, as well as an excellent blog with lots of fun and helpful articles on how to improve your dancing. Look for Lazydancertips on Youtube too!
