And live it out loud

feature: Alina Cojocaru

The last picture shows the 'bridge of aspiration' of the Royal Ballet School. As it has always been the wish of Ninette De Valois to have the company to be linked with the training schools, this 'Bridge of Aspiration' thus links the Royal Ballet's upper school with the Royal Ballet Company. It is called the Bridge of Aspiration because all the students aspire one day, to cross the bridge and become a part of the Royal Ballet Company. (: It's beautiul isn't it?

Alina Cojocaru is the principal dancer of the Royal Ballet School and only joined royal ballet school at the age of 16, after winning a scholarship. She started off as a gymnast. Though she is not really my favourite, I still think she is beautiful anyway. (: However, I still like Polina Semionova more. (:

Alright so yesterday turned out better than expected. Ballet was good, as usual. We finished atude lyric already and almost finished dramatique. I love dramatique. It's a sad dance filled with deep emotions and evokes a sense of sadness in the audience. I think the dance is beautiful. Love the music. (: Despite it having four grand jetes continous without any runs in between, I still want to do it. (:

And then senior. It was fun. Ms Lee made us do like this grande battement ala seconde en pointe as part of the step in the whole performance. Our row has to do it four times. And I was surprised I didn't fall. Haha. But when coordinated with the arms, it is actually a very beautiful line. Performance is on 13 dec in Victoria Theatre. (:

I don't know why I'm smiling so much in this post. Haha. The guys went down to play soccer so I'm all alone at home. I want to eat dinner! Tsk. There's senior tmr again until 930. Gosh. But at least I get to dance. (:

Alright the parents are rushing us for dinner already and I need to bathe. So G'night!
