Wonderful wintery day watching inspiring dance videos

London has been freezing and today it was too cold to go outside, so I spent the day answering messages and comments from our Wonderful Members on our facebook page. One of our Wonderful Members on our forum on our website asked a question about improving her grande battement so I started looking on Youtube for a video to help answer her post. I found a short video from The Royal Ballet showing the perfect grande battement - then I found another video about develope, then arabesque, and then I watched a series of performances with Svetlana Zakharova, Polina Semionova, Darcey Bussell, Roberto Bolle and then a full episode from The English National Ballet's Agony and Ecstasy. By the time I looked up, the entire afternoon had passed and it was dark outside but luckily I finished just in time to put the Xmas tree up! I haven't had much time to blog lately, but my New Year's resolution (being made in advance!) is that I'm going to write more frequently. So after a perfect day full of dance and ballet, xmas trees and cup of teas, I'm going to put my feet up and write about one of our Wonderful Members, Patricio Mello who is an amazing photographer - look out for my next blog on his work as official photographer to Prima Ballerina Luis Ortigoza of the Santiago Ballet! You can watch the videos I watched today on our Youtube Channel!
