homework

so, i'm sitting here watching Sleeping Beauty by the Royal Ballet, and it so re-assures me that I'm glad I didn't chase after a career in ballet for longer... can you imagine? After years of hard work and determination, you get to wear a big poofy dress on stage and walk around in a pattern... or, if you're really lucky, you get to be one of 10 on stage in a tutu, doing balance and arabesque. That just wouldn't do it for me... and on top of it, you still have to starve yourself for the privalege of doing that arabesque... ugh!
I don't like classical ballet. I like teaching it, I like doing classes, and using classical ballet in Contemporary or neo-classical dances.. But the full length classical bellts just bore me.
On a totally different note, maternal instincts are funny! I'm suddenly in nesting mode again. Is it 'cause it's spring time again? Sigh, I haven't felt this way for a while.... I guess Marely has stopped satiating my baby need. : {
Also, a student of mine peed in the middle of class yesterday. I remember being about 10 and a girl peeing in a class I was taking, and thinking, "how did she not leave the room sooner?" I guess there's a level of intimidation in asking the teacher to leave weather it comes from being shy or out of fear that you didn't fufull your responsibility to take care of business before class...I don't know, but I do know poor little sofia was EMBARRASED!
