This is a fun thing at iSport:
I am so lyrical. Ha! I mean, I don’t excel at anything in particular, but goddamnit I will PERFORM! And finish each combination as if I’m on stage being watched by the Queen. And do reverence like the poster of Alicia Alonzo I have on my wall. Just call me Fonteyn okrrr?
I think I possibly love adage more than I love everything else, but as I say I don’t think I’m measurably better at it or anything.
I’m going with Lyrical. What are you?
🙂 I’m totally I jumper! Always have been. When I was younger I was also much more of a turner. When I was 12 or 13 a teacher exclaimed with regard to my particular skill set, “My! You should have been born a boy!” I knew what she meant, but really?!?! Ballet people can be so weird!
Haha! No other kind of teacher would get away with that! Did she get you doing barrel turns?
Haha! I know right. She most certainly did not! It was a pre-professional ballet school. She was making an observation/statement of fact… not a giving me permission to lose my mind 😛
Luckily BoyMowgli appears to be quite a little jumper already as well… some things are genetic… and he WAS born a boy!
😀 that’s brill. Going to try to channel bouncy ball energy in my next class!
Totally found myelf competing with a boy in my last class! Boiinngg!
I think I come closest to the Virtuosa. I recognize the part of not really being able to do really sweet and feminine roles. I have difficulty with not being a powerhouse at everything I do in dance, haha! That’s why contemporary dance is such a great outlet for me besides ballet.
I’d hope for Adagio… I do love a milked port-de-bras and think more than I should about my extension…
