Ballet
When I was about 5 years old, my mom signed me up for dance lessons: tap and ballet. The little girl that I was tended to quit just about everything (that is, until I got to horse-back riding, but that's irrelevant) and after my first big recital, I was finished. However, I love ballet - I think those girls are gorgeous, and as a "photographer" (HAH. okay, let's just admit that it's a hobby, and I can't quite call myself a photographer) I've always wanted to be able to photograph them. I think those are the most beautiful portraits, and I have these ideas in my head for photos. However, there are no dance studios around me, not that I'd be allowed to simply go photograph little girls dancing anyway, and I lack any friends who do ballet.
Are there any photos you've always wanted to take? I'd love to hear about it!!

I totally hear you about trying out different things when you're little and quitting before you realize what you have. Although, I never had dance lessons (always wanted to), I loved watching any movie that had dancing in it. Now my favourite thing is to go to a real ballet performance. The most wonderful experience was watching the American Ballet Troupe dance in London at the Royal Opera House many years ago.
ReplyDeleteI did it all the time as a little girl - drove my parents crazy! Horse-back riding was the first thing I stuck with, and I'd still be doing it except for a hip injury that freaked my mom out - now I'm at college and the school doesn't have a (good) team, plus the one they do have is INSANELY expensive. Maybe one day I'll be able to get back to it...
ReplyDeleteI've only been to one ballet that I can remember, myself, but there's still a part of me that really wishes I'd stuck with it. (HAH, try convincing age 5 Kiersten to do that...)
Thanks so much for reading and commenting, though!
