Hello all!
Today I would like to share with you a short part of the Ballet Production Cinderella I was part of through the Yana Lewis Foundation.
I started studying ballet when I was about 14; after courses of jazz, contemporary and modern dance. To be honest, I could not be happier about my decision. Ballet really has improved my technique, when I do some contemporary improvisation I can now notice a more precise and sharp control of my body.
During Cinderella rehearsal I was very busy with many other things. Because it was December I had school exams going on, but I was also director of my House at the Bangalore School of Speech and Drama for annual day. Hence, I could not dedicate as much time to Cinderella as I would have wanted to. However, it was my first 'professional' experience in fusing Theater and Ballet. I really enjoyed it and although this year I will not be able to participate in their next production; 'Wizard of Oz', I am still learning all the choreography and having fun with the performance.
Productions like this convince me that there is nothing better than turning your passion into a profession. The pride felt once all the rehearsal, hard work and headaches are put up on a stage and applauded by the audience is priceless.
Here are the videos of this wonderful production the Foundation put up in December 2014.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience to work with the other professional dancers and to mix theater and ballet together!
You will not be able to recognize me, that's fine - I am one of the crowd dancers.
