Star Dance, May 1992

It's been a while since I posted. There's actually no big reason for it, just been a bit tired with the gloomy weather in my part of Finland (the whole country, to be exact). But I've been going to classes, enjoying them and even learning new stuff. I had an idea of writing about music & motivation it gives, but shall save it for later. Today I'm presenting a tiny bit of my childhood :)

One ballet friend's mom takes the same classes with me nowadays, she gave me a vhs cassette from our (ancient) Spring recital in 1992. I think the date was 19th of May. It was held at the town theatre, like always. Our class was grade 2 at that time, youngest was probably about 8-9, oldest 11-12. This is the first one of the two numbers we had, called Star Dance (or Dance of the stars). Our teacher made it, her name is mentioned in the beginning (Arja). This might have been one of the first time we had tutus! :)

At first I didn't remember this at all, but as I watched, some parts came out of nowhere to my mind! :D How fun and curious... (p.s. The video is hidden, so people won't find it unless they've seen it here.)

Joulukalenteri - Christmas Calendar - vol. 14

Eilen illalla oli tosiaan pitkästä aikaa esiintyminen balettiryhmän kanssa, sen lauantaisen. Lyhyt masurkka, "Joulusiivouskin sujuu kuin tanssi" :) Lavalla oli ihanaa olla, kun vaan olisi kestänyt kauemmin! Meidän asut oli ehkä jotain muuta kuin tavallista tanssikamaa (siivousvaatteet), joten päätin päivän luukuksi koota muutaman ihanan tutun! Karkkiunelmia... :)

So, yesterday evening we had our Christmas Show and performance of the ballet class (the one on Saturday mornings). A short mazurka, " Christmas cleaning is like dancing" :) It was wonderful to be on stage, only wish it would've lasted longer! Our costumes were maybe out of the ordinary (your average cleaning suite), so I decided to gather some delicious tutus for today's "memory"! Candied Dreams... :)

Ei tutut päällä, mutta mitkä värit! :) No tutus, but look at those colors! :)
