Thank you so much for the question @rendezvous_at_midnight There are actually three particular performances that come to mind. The first was the live stream filming of Alice In Wonderland in to the movie theaters all around Denmark. I don’t think I’ve ever danced better in my life. The second was my second show of Giselle …
Thank you for the question, @misslilydoesballet The teenage years… a tricky moment in anyone’s life. So much uncertainty. Ballerina dreamers have some pretty big decisions to make early on too, not making it any easier. Should I stay at my local ballet school? Should I join a larger, more renowned school? Should I go to …
Photo: What Dance Can Do Project Thank you for the question, tut4thewin! Awww… performing. Without a doubt, my most favorite thing to do. I love stepping out in to the lights and sharing an evening with an audience. Magic happens. I swear, there is magic in the air at a theater. It is just waiting …
Thank you for the question, andreeaunicorn Spar Dame, is the current ballet that The Royal Danish Ballet is performing! The choreographer is no other then the one and only, Liam Scarlett. The simplistic, yet chic sets and amazing costume designs are by Jon Morrell. Together they have created quite a show! Spar Dame, or Queen …
Thank you for your question, andreeaunicorn. Here is a photo series taking you through, step by step, on how to tie your pointe shoe ribbons. It’s a little tricky at first, but in no time you will be tying your shoes in a matter of seconds. I hope this is easy to follow! Let me …
Thank you for the question, rendezvous_at_midnight. The first step to my pre-performance ritual is that I turn on a country radio! It will be playing in the background while I put on my makeup, warm up and get 100% ready for the show. I find that country music is very calming. Country has many songs …
Thank you for the question, Frederikke_staghoej Let’s get the worst part out of the way. 😉 The worst part is that the KGL Teater is located 4,053 Miles or 6,523 Km away from my family. Copenhagen is really, really far away from “Home”. When I had my first show with the company… no one I …
Thank you for the question idataggaard! Yes! I will highlight three schools that I believe are very interesting and worth checking out, that are outside of Denmark. The School of American Ballet. aka SAB. Now, I might be a bit biased because this is the school that I attended for four years, year round. I …
Thank you for the question, Saralykkemadsen This is a very honest and brave question. Quite frankly, it’s a question that almost all professional and non-professional dancers ask themselves. There is a lot of pressure on ballet dancers to be thin. You want to feel light to your partner, you want to be proud of how …
Thanks for the fun question, buster_jensandersen! Pirouettes, pique turns, lame ducks, fouette turns, chaines, soutenu’s… I sure do love to turn! 🙂 There is something about that feeling of being so on balance that you can make the world spin around you, while you stay put! In my dreams I can turn 6, 7, 8 …
