Ballerina


I had to come to Russia to understand why so many little girls want to become ballerina’s.
Last week I suddenly got it and almost wished I was a little girl, taking ballet lessons, in a tutu, on ‘pointe shoes’. Fascinating and very relaxing to watch.
I got hooked and went to buy tickets this Sunday for other performances. Tickets are generally cheap (in comparison to Holland), some not more than 3 euro’s.
The theatre has performances, either Opera or Ballet, several times a week and they all start at 19.30. So directly out of work/university and back at home by ten, perfect.
I might actually fulfil my wish to go to one performance every week.
As for practicing this art, I guess I would have to become a little girl again, so I keep it to my laps on the running track and let walking on ‘pointe shoes' to real ballerina’s.
