Ballet


Almost everyone that knows me knew that I learned ballet since I was three and a half years old. I don't go around ''show-offing'' nor telling people how high level had I achieved. But when a person asks about it, I will tell. Blogging about ballet life has never came across my mind because I am not really ''in love'' with it. Since the day ballet was found, everyone knows that ballerina does not have a ''easy'' life compared to others. You can compared ballet with jazz, tap, latin or any other dances, but in the end, you will realized ballet will be the most difficult and long term learning compared to others. Continuing to be aballerina for 13 years isn't that easy as you think. Along the way, I can see many other gave up as the higher grades I achieved. From 20 over ballerina in a pre-primary class, till 2 ballerina in the advance 1 class that I am learning now, I realized being a ballerina isn't that nice after all.

10 years of learning, you might only can perform on the stage for 10 minutes. 20 years of learning, you might be able to perform in other country without any pay. 30 years of learning, no one will appreciate you anymore, because you have grown old and loss your beauty. There is time I want to give up being a ballerina, but I have not. Don't ask me why, thats who I am..
