Day 17 - Botanica

Amazing, fabulous, breathtakingly stunning. If ever you see that this is in your town, go see it. Just go. Even brought on the misty eyes.

After these past few months of training my body, I watched the performance through a new set of eyes, a perspective that understands the difficulty of every little movement executed to near perfection by the dancers. Such strength, such flexibility, such CONTROL.

If you didn't follow the link I posted in my last post, I'll just embed the video here and force it on you.

  1. Video is GORGEOUS and so inspiring! I love that you're all into dance now, Jenny! You're making me think about finding an adult ballet class around here...yours sounds super hardcore, though. I just want to wear a pink leotard and dance around to Kermit singing "The Rainbow Connection" like I did when I was five. :)

  2. very cool stuff.
    i went to ballet yesterday! score! my ballet teacher is like a spanish Tom Ford, double score!
    seriously though, i nearly chickened out. but i literally thought to myself "WWSD/WWGD/WWJD" and it got me out of the house and into the class. THANK YOU GUYS!
    it was great. slow, but i need to go to beginners class for at least a couple of weeks just to re-engage some of the muscles im not used to using. so excited!
    thought about you jenny, there was a really good video i used to use when i was at uni to keep the pistons firing when i wasnt training. i'll see if i can find it online.
