Ballet

Backstage, sort of

  So for our demo, we didn't exactly have your typical stage.  As you can see above, it is a very large studio with seats for an audience.  There is also a door in the far left corner that you can't see.  It leads to another studio which we used as a backstage as sorts.  In ballet there are two kinds of tutus, romantic (flows down) and classic.  I had a classic tutu for the first time and trust me, I took good care of that tutu.  Once you are in the tutu though, you are not allowed to sit down.  So, by the end of the demo, I was ready to go home, sit in fount of the tv and relax.  While I was waiting for my turn, I practiced my variation and chatted quietly with my ballet friends.  It was rather fun.  One of the things that did annoy me was that the guys went to a store and brought back a bunch of junk food, including Cheetos.  Now if a girl would have brought Cheetos with her, she's get in trouble, but seeing as a guy did, they didn't get in trouble that I know of.  Now, I get it and I don't find it unfair or anything actually.  I'm personally against feminism.  I fully understand it in the context of ballet.  Ballet studios need guys and they sometimes will give them the special treatment and I am fine with it.  It might seem unfair, but it's life and life is unfair, get used to it.  Anyways, as always friends, have a great day and just keep dancing! ~Mia
