Ballet-All Tchaikoske

Monday, March 31, 2008 by Alan son

It is performed by the Hong Kong Ballet. The music in the performance are all written by Tchaikoske. There are totally five shows in the performance: Theme and Variations, Grand Pas de Deux from The Sleeping Beauty, Pas de Quatre from Swan Lake Act 1, Tchaikosky Pas de Deux and The Way Alone.

Theme and Variations and Tchaikosky Pas de Deux are both created by George Balanchine who is a tenlent choreographer and is regarded as the foremost contemporary choreographer in the world. May be that is why I like these two shows in the performance the most.

In my opinion, the Grand Pas de Deux from The Sleeping Beauty is fair. Also, I think the set can have an improvement. May be this is because it is not a real ballet with story and there are different theme.

John Meehan, the artistic director of the Hong Kong Ballet created Pas de Quatre from Swan Lake Act 1 by himself. However, it is different from the traditional pas de trois in Act 1 of Swan Lake, there is another dancing role for a male added. So, it becomes pas de quatre. I love the music as it is lilting Andante and the partnering steps are also good.

Finally, is The Way Alone. Personally, I don't like this act much. The ballet begins and ends with choral music giving it a slightly sacred feel and attracting me. But I think the middle part is a bit boring and I cannot get what is it talking about.

Gel Ballet Pointe ShoeToe Pads

Saturday, January 5, 2008 by Alan son

For ballet dancers and ballet learner, I believe they must have faced the problem of toes injured because of doing pointe work. I did have this experenice before. I had to practise for my RAD examination, so i did the pointe exercise three to four hours each day. However, after a few days, almost all of my toes become injuried. It's really painful and I still need to keep on practise. That's really a terrible memory!!




After that, I find that a pair of gel toe pads can help a lot to solve this problem and I can do the pointe exercise more easy. It is because it can totally fit your feet and give a great protection. More, it is really longlasting. Although it is more expensive than normal toe pads(about US$5), I think it is worth as it will not broke easily.




At first, I used the Ultra Lite Toe Pads by Eurotard. It is US$18.95. In my opinion, it is a bit too thick. Also, it is too sticky and make me feel difficult to wear pointe shoe. What's more, when I am wearing this toe pads, I have to wear a bigger size pointe shoes.



Therefore, for using gel toe pads, I prefer using the Soft Pointe Gel Pads by Leos. It is US$13.25 which is cheaper than the Eurotard one. On the other hands, it is slighter. I think the thickness is suitable that I don't have to wear a pair of bigger size pointe shoes. Also, it do not sticky like the Ultra Lite Toe Pads though it is still a bit sticky. One of the main point is that I like the colour of the toe pads by Leos much more. They are in lovely pink or purple!!!!


Wash them after using would be better. After washing, I would suggest to use body powder or talcum powder on the toe pads because after using it would not be sticky.

Dancing Adult Ballet

Friday, January 4, 2008 by Alan son

Ballet is one of the most elegant dance in many girl's eyes. Also, ballet dancer always show artistic temperament.

Even so, someone may think that ballet is a kind of old fashion dancing and it is a bit disconnect with the living today. In social view, ballet may be suitable for little girls only. Moreover, people may think that it is quite strange for adult to learn ballet or it is too difficult for adult to do ballet.

In my point of view, ballet is not only for little girl! Actually, Adult Ballet should be promoted as it can be an interest, sports and it can also make people healthy. In the society, people work under pressure and have a busy live without having any relex or exercises. However, when you are dancing ballet, you can listen to some lovely,soft music and join yourself into the music, into ballet, into the class. After that, you can put down your stress for while, let yourselves to relex and also reduce pressure.

Also, if you keep on dancing ballet, you can have regular exercises. Moreover, it help you to do some streching and elongating your musle. For example, if you have the problem of painful back, it helps you to reduce pain as it can strengthen your muscle.

On the other hand, learning ballet is a good idea for you if want to keep fit. It is beacuse you can lose weight as you keep join the ballet class. Someone may afraid that too muscles are strengthened and make the legs look fat. In fact, it is not true, ballet takes bodyshape seiously that's why it always required learner to do more streching. As a result, ballet dancer can have a slim body with the most suitable ratio of fat and muscle.

Nowaday, adult ballet is actually quite common in many countries. Futhermore, ballet may combine with pilates which can ballet learner to have a more balanced muscle between left and right side of the body. The muscle in two side is not balanced is one of the reason why people have he probem of backache and unbalanced body.

I am a ballet learner myself and of course I am not a little girl. I love ballet and experience the advantages of ballet. That's why I hope people to know how good ballet is.
