Happy New Year! With a fresh start to 2021, we share our Ballet4lifer -of-the-month story with you. We feature "Nao"- Naoki Ishii, who is a multi-talented man, and a Ballet devotee. Thank you Nao for participating; it has been so interesting to learn of you many talents. Hopefully if/when we ever have our annual Ballet4life Dance Showcase, Nao can perform with us! When did you start dancing? I started “Lion Dance” about 20 years ago. I was introduced to it through Martial Arts. In year 2000 I competed in the World Lion Dance championship in Genting Malaysia as a Lion Head of the UK team. I have been performing in and outside UK since. ( I am the front of the lion in the photo “Lion Dance Genting”, which I found on the internet.) I started ballet in 2018 and ballroom dancing in 2019. What makes dancing so special to you? All the dancing I took up are very special, however, ballet became very special to me during the lock down as I was able to continue online trai
Dancers from Ballet4life give their views, tips, thoughts, and feedback on being an adult dancer. Guest bloggers are also invited to join us and offer their anecdotes.
