After taking care of some serious family matters, Susan the S of S & J Talk Ballet, is back to share some of her tips and recommendations!
Over to Susan!
The pointe class with former Rambert Dance Company and Scottish Ballet dancer Mark Kelly/Kimmett continues to have a stable number of core participants ( although there is always room for more ). The class usually begins with centre work now before going to the barre and we are managing to execute more of the exercises on pointe, including bourrees though there is always the option of being on demi-pointe should we wish. Mark continues to give individually tailored support as and when necessary. I think we all feel that we are making progress. I personally am still struggling with my shoe ribbons with the elastic insert but I am determined to master them rather than removing them and attaching regular ribbons.

On a recent shopping trip after walking through the perfume hall of a large department store, I found myself with a handful of perfumed cards that had been thrust in my hands from every angle! I thought it quite a waste to put them in the bin but what to do with them? I then had the idea that if I put them inside my shoes ( my ballet shoes included) it might make them smell nice. Well, my theory worked so now I know what to do with these cards in the future.
