It's insane how some girls perform a lead role, such as Clara, at young ages like 11. At my studio, the girls are in high school, so they can perform on pointe, and do more advanced dancing.

@marysheeran519 2 жыл бұрын

It's a different version of the story. Balanchine wanted the students from SAB to be part of the ballet - in fact, he liked to find places for them in several ballets - and he took special time to give them instruction.

Oh gosh! My ballet is required to get our makeup on 1-2 hours before, then we put on our costumes 40 minutes later, we have to wait for 15 minutes and not talk at all so no one has to hear random children talking. For hair we usually wear buns and we have volunteers to put on our makeup, we also usually have the same makeup even bon bons. (I think.) My old dream of being was the rats, for my ballet dance, it’s just fun and you all do the same thing at once. We have 3 parts to be in. The intro rats, mice, and Soldiers just dance (not the battle yet.) then we have the battle. In all I think it’s 5 minutes, the dances are short (most of them.) so there you have it, my old dream of doing, and what to wear. Thanks for reading
