Chickens La Fille

Hello again if you're out there. 


I did La Fille Mal Gardee and Coppelia for my performances last year and I wanted to share some of my dancing with you.


Here is the link to the opening dance of La Fille Mal Gardee, Chickens. Hope you love it!


By the way, it's meant to be funny. Mucking around on pointe is awesome btw. I did it on flat for The Mecanicals in '09 for Midsummer Night's Dream.


Enjoy!

Balletic Lifestyle

Hi,

My name is Sian, I have been a ballerina for ten years. I started when I was 4, when every girl dreams of being a ballerina. My mother forced me to attend classes even though I was a little tomboy back then. I dreamed of being a doctor instead of a ballerina. 

After a few years I was introduced to Contemporary dance. I loved it and wanted to give up ballet for it. I asked the director of my dance school and she said I had to be 16 to do contemporary exclusively. So I continued with ballet for a few more years. 

This year (2010) I truly realised my passion for ballet. I was improving rapidly so I was put en pointe. This opened up a world of possibilities for me when it came to casting. All the good parts are on pointe, so I had a chance. 

I auditioned for the Australian Ballet School in July, they didn't accept me but it lit a fire inside me. I am going to audition for 6 more schools next year. I want to be a ballet dancer even if it means I have to move out of Canberra. I want to be a full time dancer at Tanya Pearsons, ABS or Victorian College of the Arts.

I'm so glad I kept doing ballet. I still do contemporary but I don't love it nearly as much. I dance 35 hours a week and I got solos in both our performances this year. Dawn in Coppelia and Melanie in A Moment Of Choice. 

See you next post, if anyone is reading.
