Renata is a prima.

RENATA IS A PRIMA BALLERINA OF THE MARIINSKY THEATRE!!!!!!!

I cannot breathe omg. I’m literally shaking and tearing up. I have dreamed of this since her very first principal role as a member of the company, Kitri in October of 2015.

You probably don't follow this company closely but I just need to brag about my fellow Portuguese citizens and wonderful young dancers António Casalinho and Margarita Fernandes. They're 18 and 17 respectively, hired straight as soloists, did very well in soloist parts through the season in Swan Lake, Giselle and Cinderella and tonight they debuted Franz and Swanilda! I only watched one clip of António yet and this kid will never cease to amaze me. He has been the best known dancer my country since he was 13 and the fact that people know is name is a miracle because my country only cares about football and has the retrograde mentality of "Ballet is for girls" . He put a beautiful and talented face to ballet and he's inspiring many little boys in this country.

As for Margarita, this kid has taken every challenge sent her way with such poise, grace and hard work. Her mother trained her and it's very obvious she was pushed and worked very hard to get there.

Other than Marcelino Sambe, my country has no big name ballet dancers. I'm ridiculous proud of them.

I don't talk about this company much but I have a few friends and former classmates now working there, so I usually hear the big updates from them haha.

António Casalinho is a crazy talent. Like people literally gave up when he was announced as a competitor of PDL. He's won YAGP how many times? Now, of course, medals don't make a career but when THAT MANY people are in agreement about someone's talent....he's got something really special. I'm glad he's gaining more popularity and recognition outside of ballet.

Margarita Fernandes is very promising as well, but I think she could have benefited from a year or two at a big finishing school to clean up some details. She had the time, wasn't she only 16 when she joined? But I understand that she and António were presented as a package deal, and I certainly don't blame her for not walking away from a soloist contract, that would have been insanity. I know she's been working with a legendary mentor Maina Gielgud so I have confidence in that collaboration to help her to grow! I'm excited to see both of them in the future, hopefully together as they do really dance well together (Of course, this is the benefit of having the same training!)

You have Telmo Moreria too! The double prize winner of PDL, danced with ABT and Orlando ballet and is now a head ballet master at the Rock School for Dance Education. He's' choreographing all over right now, at Ballet San Juan, Joffery Ballet, Philadelphia Ballet.

AU where Nancy and Vickie are ballerinas in the late 19th century and Steve takes Jonathan and Robin to a showing of Giselle where in the end Steve cries, Robin has a full on gay panic, and Jonathan is completely mesmerized by the music combined with Nancy’s performance.

#I’ve been watching a lot of recordings of different famous ballets on YouTube recently and needless to say it gave me an idea #will I write it? probably not #will not explain further #this is my second most self indulgent piece ever #first goes to my fe3h au #it’s an excuse to draw pretty frilly dresses because they are cute #this also might be one of the oddest historical aus I’ve ever come up with and I’m sorry to subject you to my brain #that currently has waltz music bouncing around inside it #thanks a lot Tchaikovsky and whoever did the score for Giselle #ballet costumes were designed by me and inspired by previous productions of Giselle and other costumes from the era #was very nervous posting this becuase of how odd the au idea is #hope that the tags work for me becuase they have been broken #sorry for the wall of text here I’m a nervous dork #stranger things #jonathan byers #nancy wheeler #steve harrington #robin buckley #vickie stranger things #jancy #rovickie #1890s ballet au #sketch saturday #more like sketch Sunday for me

I got re-fitted for pointe shoes since my feet swelled up and my first pair - the one I got at the summer intensive - is now suddenly way too small. I went to a local dance store and this was basically how it went down:

Fitter: Yeah, those are definitely too small. Who fitted you before?

Me: So it was at this summer program out in California, they had some people from The Pointe Shop come out and do fittings -

Fitter:

My sister-in-law is starting ballet and she wants me to give her one or two classes before her first class so she doesn't look like she doesn't know anything at all, so naturally I agreed. I was excited that she's starting ballet and love talking about it, but I never expected I would have SO MUCH FUN making combinations. I've come up with so many over the past day or so and can't stop lol. Picking the music is so fun, I'm using music I love dancing to, and then creating a combination to the music is just amazing. Some might be a bit....challenging for a beginner beginner, but I think that's a good thing!

This is the music and what combination each piece goes with!

Warm Up: Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9 no. 2 (obviously)

Plies: The Shire theme from Lord of the Rings

Tendu and degage share music: Faure's Pelleas and Melisandre Sicilienne

Rond de jambes: Ashokan Farewell

Frappes: Solor's variation

Adagio at barre: Gadfly Romance

Grand Battements: Habanera from Carmen

Tendu in center: Tchaikovsky's piano concerto number 1 (duh)

Balances/Waltz: Swan Lake waltz

Petit allegro: Lord of the Rings surprise

Reverance: Nikiya's death

kai from exo and marlon brando are sexy in the exact same way & this can’t be argued with

#their faces are even kinda similar #the way it took me like a decade to come up w this realization when ive been a big fan of both of their works since i was like #a freshman/sophomore in high school #ive watched multiple brando movies and been having an exo relapse in the last couple of weeks #text post #what brando is for method actors kim jongin is for dancers in kpop. okay. they're both the standard #both very charismatic and masculine-presenting but also sensitive and. well again as i said just really fucking sexy #objectively speaking. #captivating scene stealers and heartthrobs for all-time #kai is like brando who can do ballet #exo #kai #brando #idc im tagging this who fucking cares
