Haha but ya my childhood I have only dreamed of taking ballet but my parents insisted on piano instead.... I had to spend years in Yamaha watching the fortunate ballerinas dance in the other room. <br /><br />I have a question though. I am 18 and I want to start with adult ballet .. but most don't allow me the opportunity to take the exams. I mean I'm serious about ballet but don't know if I want to be a dancer. I just want to do it for the rest of my life. So do you know anyway I can take the exams and whether I should even try <br /><br />zara_wawahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708153565620304805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081330706261891235.post-20207367407909152662012-01-24T03:01:02.254+08:002012-01-24T03:01:02.254+08:00The power of Dance!

You see, I did Ballet Grade 1 when I was like 6, then my father decided to end my lessons due to financial reasons. I would crave ballet so bad that I write poems, I cry and I basically feel like a part of my soul was torn out. Worse part is, my dad was crazy about me studying hard so I wasn't allowed to spend free time reading ballet books, only textbooks. I pestered my dad, for 10 entire years! I'm 16 now. Finally this year, he relented. And, thus, I began trying to find a ballet teacher who would take me into a graded syllabus class as I did not want to do adult ballet, I wanted to do the real thing. Through a friend, I found Miss Chua at Hwi Yoh CC who was willing to take me in at my advanced age (ahem). She put me in Grade 3 just 2 weeks ago and finally I'm on my way!!! <br /><br />Your story has told me that it's all possible, that Ballet is not closed to me. It's inspiring, really. Lots of hard work ahead, but I'm determined. Thank you. Your story gives me hope.Kamelia Cullenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258395610836267828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081330706261891235.post-64135461318974220242011-12-06T02:15:21.133+08:002011-12-06T02:15:21.133+08:00Hier kun je een hiv thuistest bestellenHier kun je een <a href="http://www.hiv-thuistest.nl" rel="nofollow">hiv thuistest</a> bestellentedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12782501978429506962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081330706261891235.post-19284982832394415572011-02-26T22:26:43.573+08:002011-02-26T22:26:43.573+08:00Hello:) I know i read this post quite late.

I still had a chance to learn dancing.<br /><br />I hope i could fulfill my dream this time. :)<br /><br />See you at Kampong Chai Chee CC on July 4th okay?Siminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14996168801891542746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081330706261891235.post-46346866616529482212008-11-21T14:09:00.000+08:002008-11-21T14:09:00.000+08:00An inspiring story and I'm so glad your dream work...An inspiring story and I'm so glad your dream worked out in the end. I saw my first ballet at age 3 and wanted to be a dancer, but I had a lot of serious childhood illness and couldn't exercise at all. By the time I'd recovered, I was 17 and thought it was all too late.<BR/><BR/>Over the years I travelled a lot and when I found adult ballet classes, I would join in, but never had the chance to study seriously (and didn't think there was much point, to be honest). Then in my late 30's, I discovered flamenco. Within 5 years I was dancing semi-professionally! <BR/><BR/>To any other frustrated ballerinas I would say - don't close your eyes to other kinds of dance. Even if ballet seems like your first and only love, you may be surprised how much you can enjoy other styles if you give them a try - and how far they can take you!Sirenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10821764356274948752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081330706261891235.post-17427280620183891822008-09-03T06:03:00.000+08:002008-09-03T06:03:00.000+08:00Hi!Your story is inspiring.

I danced from 11yo to 18yo with a 2 years pause. I'm 28 now. Do you think it's too late?

That's so amazing!<BR/><BR/>I actually would like to take ur ballet class, but I live in Jurong West. Moreover, I'm not a singaporean, so it's quite too hard for me to travel so far every week.. If you know a ballet school near jurong west or boon lay (or if you open a class near here), please inform me, ok? I'll be so grateful ;)<BR/><BR/>Btw, nice to meet you. I am Anastasia. I danced since small, but had stopped dancing at about 12 years old. Now I'm joining chinese dance club at NTU and hope to get back to ballet again ;)Anastasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05262165072121576725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081330706261891235.post-36567609276263822202008-01-18T12:04:00.000+08:002008-01-18T12:04:00.000+08:00Hey Joni,It was great to know your story, it reall...Hey Joni,<BR/><BR/>It was great to know your story, it really reflects your passion for ballet and dance =) <BR/><BR/>Keep on going girl, believe you'll be an inspiration for the next generation of young dancers.WiNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17751646287959103136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5081330706261891235.post-56427812089979783922007-12-09T00:49:00.000+08:002007-12-09T00:49:00.000+08:00Joni!

I've passed both the Senior Grade and Grade V of the new syllabus back then around 1992. Recently, I thought of taking pilates to improve my flexibility, and your stretching class sounds like a good alternative, except for the fact that Bedok's a bit far for me since i live in Boon Lay... <BR/><BR/>In any case, which of your adult ballet classes would be suitable for my background and which day & what time are they? Thanks!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01077407995623423699noreply@blogger.com
