The story of me and my ballet dream~

Gao Gao? Bach Ballet? 2018-06-06

Everyone has his or her own dream.

When you were very young, the teacher asked you what you wanted to do when you grew up.

Everyone has a different answer. When you grow up, do you still remember the dream you had when you were a child?

The story of a little girl and her ballet dream starts from now~

Far away, there is such a girl who has loved dancing since she was a child and hopes to be free one day. dance.

So, the seeds of dreams began to take root and sprout from that time.

However, where the little girl grew up, there were no dance teachers or dance schools. All parents have one wish: to go to college and have a good future.

So, the little girl had no choice but to hide her love for dance in her heart and fulfill her dream of going to college.

The little girl was admitted to university with the top score in that area, fulfilling her parents' wish. After entering college, I discovered that there were dance clubs and various opportunities to get involved in dance. After leaving my hometown, I realized that there is still Beijing Dance Academy in this world, and you can also engage in dance professionally.

It’s a pity that I’m getting older and it’s impossible to become a major, so let’s just keep it as a hobby. I just hope that even if it’s just a hobby, I can dance well enough, and I hope that one day I can be truly free. Dance, follow your heart.

Until one day, I couldn’t bear it anymore and wanted to devote all my time and energy to dance and ballet. Because I want to move so much when I hear music... So Bach became the child to realize my dream. Even though I am 30 years old, even if I have zero foundation in dance, it doesn’t matter. It can’t stop my love for ballet. So, here, in Bach Ballet, I have all my love for ballet, my vision and beauty of ballet.

It is not easy to persist in your dreams. You will encounter various thorns on the road, but because of the love for ballet deep in your heart, all difficulties become a thing of the past.

I have always persisted in practicing Qigong, firmly believing in the kindness of people and the beauty of life.

So, I found that my life began to change.

First of all, I find that my mental state is very good every day, very sunny, very positive, and I feel full of energy and hope.

Secondly, I found that I rarely get sick. I used to be weak and sickly, and it took a long time to get over a cold. But after I started practicing ballet, I found that my body’s resistance is getting better and better.

Third, I feel younger and more elegant. The reason I am younger is probably because I sweat a lot every time I practice, my metabolism is much better, my skin feels better, and I delay aging. I became elegant because I received the influence of classical ballet music and the excellent body and temperament training of ballet every day. I felt that I had changed from the inside out. Every time I practiced, I had to fall in love with myself.

Fourthly, I think this is the most important change that ballet has brought to me, that is, the more I practice ballet, the more persistent and focused my character becomes. Because ballet is a dance that pursues perfection, some people may think that practicing ballet every day is boring, but when you learn it, you will find that it is a never-ending aesthetic country. You can always practice better and become more perfect. As a result, the personality changed. And I think this kind of persistent and single-minded character is rare, and it is also an indispensable trait for success in any industry. Because of persistence, we can withstand the wind and frost, and because of concentration, we can resist temptation. I feel this is the most valuable quality we modern humans lack, and in ballet, they taught me that.

Finally, I think the best thing that ballet brings to me is the beautiful spiritual world and spiritual enjoyment. It makes me feel the innocence and beauty of the world. Especially when I found out that I was already 30 years old. I started learning ballet from scratch and could still practice it to the level I am now. I was really happy and satisfied.

So just like there is a saying: As long as you are willing, no matter fat or thin, no matter soft or hard, no matter young or not, from now on, it is not too late, you can still become elegant and beautiful .

With this belief, I have reached this point and will continue to do so.

My dream has just set sail. I want to greet her with the most beautiful life. Will you come with me?

Attached interview:

1. Introduce the identity and current situation of the little master.

Hello everyone, I came to Hangzhou in 2012 and have been in this beautiful city for more than 5 years. I still remember the first time I came to Hangzhou when I was a junior in college, and I liked it very much. I like the mountains here, the water here, and the greenery here. From that moment on I decided that I wanted to stay in this beautiful city with mountains and rivers. So, after several years, my dream finally came true, and I have now settled in the west of Hangzhou. After realizing my dream of living in Hangzhou, I embarked on a long journey to realize my childhood ballet dream. Now I have opened a ballet dance studio in the west of Hangzhou, and I start my ballet learning life every day.

2. When did you start falling in love with ballet and thinking about pursuing a career in ballet?

?

? When I was very young, I fell in love with dancing. When I was a child, I would always dance when I heard music. I remember when I was in elementary school, I was watching TV at home one weekend, and I accidentally saw the TV showing the dance competition of the College Students Art Festival. I really liked it at the time, and I hoped that one day I could be a member of it and participate in such a dance. show. It was probably from that time that my love for dance was solidified.

Mom and Dad also like to dance. I still remember when I was a child, my parents invited their friends to dance at home. It was the kind of ballroom dance that was more popular in rural towns in the past, with various dance steps. Nowadays, small places are also very popular in cities and towns. That time I watched my parents and their friends dancing happily, so I danced too. Very quickly, after just one or two repetitions, I memorized all the moves and danced so well that my parents were shocked. But for the people there and that era, no matter what artistic talent you have, art will never be taken seriously. Only going to college is the only way out. Moreover, there is no place to learn dance in our rural areas, no dance teachers and no dance venues. So the love for dance was buried in my heart. Although there is very little information on learning dance, I still know some basic soft opening exercises. Because I like it very much, I would practice it at home when I was young. On the balcony in the rural yard, put your feet up and practice leg presses. You can also practice doing vertical splits on the door. Because I wanted to dance when I heard music when I was a child, so when I was at home alone, I would secretly play some music, or imagine music in my mind, and then start dancing. Sometimes I would also find some props, such as our old door curtain, which was made of thin green strips and made of plastic. There were many, many strips. I would grab one or two strips and play with them by myself, just like in rhythmic gymnastics. After a long time, I would invite a few children in the village to play together. I would choreograph dance moves for them. We would arrange a small show and then dance to the people in the village. The days of childhood are always pleasant and short.

After entering junior high school, I don’t have so much free time. But because I like it, I will also insist on some soft opening exercises during morning exercises at school. I don’t know when I heard the word ballet. At that time, I only knew that ballet was on pointe, and the girls who danced ballet were very elegant. So I started to envy girls who can dance ballet, and I also hope to meet friends of the same age who are so noble, elegant and temperamental. So sometimes at school or at home, I would wear soft cloth shoes and play on pointe. I remember that at that time, I could stand for up to one minute. But at that time, I didn’t know that pointe shoes were actually hard in the front, and that when wearing pointe shoes, you also need to wear pointe toe gloves to protect your toes. I just knew I could stand up on my toes, so I stood up stupidly.

When I was in college, my mother died in a car accident, and the burden on my family became heavier. In this way, I always kept my love for dance in my heart. Although I couldn't work in this industry, I never gave up. Although many things have happened and I have experienced various hardships from school to graduation to work, dance has given me a belief that the world is beautiful and has always maintained my love for life.

After graduation, my job has been very stable. When everything is moving forward happily, my love for dance and ballet can no longer be suppressed. Every time I hear music, my heart is taken away. Although I also study amateur ballet after work, I still can't let it go. I hope that one day I can devote myself to this industry wholeheartedly.

Finally one day, with this dream and my own desire to learn professional ballet, I finally started the road to my true ballet dream. Bach Ballet Studio is the child of my dream.

3. Use a few simple sentences to popularize some ballet knowledge

First of all, ballet originated in Italy during the Renaissance, developed and became popular in France, and flourished in Russia. Ballet has gone through nearly 500 years of development, so it has formed a very scientific and standardized training system for basic ballet skills training. Although ballet dance has a history of nearly 500 years, the development history of pointe dance is less than 200 years ago. A long time ago, there were no pointe shoes in ballet, nor the current TUTU skirt, and even women were not allowed to dance ballet. . It was not until the release of the romantic ballet "La Sylphide" three hundred years later that the era of ballet pointe dance began. Normally, except for a few men's ballet troupes, only women dance in pointe shoes. Men do not need to wear pointe shoes and dance in soft dance shoes. For non-professional actors, they almost always wear soft dance shoes in daily basic ballet training classes. Due to the unique training method of ballet, people who practice ballet for a long time will be very tall and straight, with slender lines. There are many classic ballet works handed down throughout the history of ballet. The most well-known of them are the ballets "Swan Lake", "Sleeping Beauty" and "The Nutcracker" composed by Russian Tchaikovsky during the classical ballet period. During the romantic ballet period before this, "La Sylphide" and "Giselle" were also very classic.

Finally, "Death of the Swan" is a modern ballet work composed by Saint-Sa?ns and choreographed by Fokine. It is not a fragment from "Swan Lake". Don't get confused~~~

4. Introduction Ballet Studio

The place where I began to realize my childhood ballet dream was in my studio, Bach Ballet. There are also many children and adults here who have the same dream as me of ballet dancing, and they are working hard to pursue their dreams that they cannot let go of. We welcome more people who have dreams and work hard to join us, and let us find our hearts together. The dreaming you deep inside.

5. The little master’s motto.

If you have a dream, chase it.

In my life dictionary, living a wonderful life, living out yourself, and living the life you want is very important to me, and the process of having dreams and realizing them is what makes life wonderful source of energy. Human life is too short. No matter what kind of dream you have, if you work hard for it and live it firmly, you will have no regrets in this life. So if you have a dream, pursue it, be who you want, and be true to yourself is what I have always tried to practice.

6. What concepts should be shaped for adults and children about some of the problems they are likely to encounter in the process of learning ballet?

For most people, learning ballet is mainly to improve their body and temperament and have a good posture. Ballet is an art that pursues perfection, pays great attention to details, and has very strict norms and standards. Therefore, when learning, you need to train strictly and scientifically according to the requirements of ballet, so that you can train the slender lines and elegant and straight temperament of ballet. This requires learners to carefully understand the requirements of ballet and figure out how to exert force in each movement of ballet. Only by doing it to the limit within the range of their own body can they achieve good results. At the same time, because ballet is Art, so when practicing basic ballet training, you should not stop at the level of gestures. You must listen to the music, feel the music, and love to think. Many students do not like to think about ballet, and they learn in a haphazard manner. , without paying attention to details or methods, it will be difficult to develop all the temperament of ballet. Why ballet is very scientific? Because its entire training system is in line with human movement anatomy and can withstand logical scrutiny. The design and requirements of each movement have its own principles behind it. They always follow the laws of human movement and always It will not deviate from the aesthetics of ballet, and it will be done step by step, from the ground to the barre to the middle, from small movements to large movements, from small to medium to large jumps, all done bit by bit, very scientific and systematic.
