Drawing ballet class

16/10/2014

Last Friday I went on a drawing day in Manchester - The Palace Theatre and New London Ballet. Whilst I enjoy drawing, what I was really looking forward to was the opportunity to watch the dancers, both in class, and later in rehearsal for Swan Lake. It's one thing going along to class every week, and teaching ballet barre to my small dedicated group of women, but quite another to see such highly trained, exquisitely lovely dancers doing what they do every day of their professional life.
The exercises were not overlong, but were set at such speed by the ferocious-looking ballet mistress that it was incredible that the dancers and the accompanist had a clue what she demanded, never mind tempo and timing
