2007.12.30


Bravo! Bravo!

In front (on the right) are 2 young talented dancers from the American Ballet Theatre. Great performance!

But before I go celebrating the beginning of a new year, there is one more thing I need to share; a special ballet performance of The Nutcracker (inlcuding beautiful music by Tchaikovski).

This play was performed in a 'big' church by a dance company (based in my hometown) and is a joyfull collabrotation between children, amateur dancers, as well as professional dancers.

What I love about ballet performances is how it reminds me of my own sport: bouldering. (But without the big boulders and the adrenaline rushes.) It's just the pure beauty of very complex body movements while dancing in a show. And just like climbing, it's all about balance and elegancy. And I can't keep my eyes off it :-)

nanske You might have seen one of my pupils, she was a kid in one or the other embassy-family (I didn't see this years performance, and although she told me, I forgot in which one she was). I think it's a pity they don't dance to live music.
