Tallie's Thoughts

Word to Describe Ballet: Perseverance

Reflection About Ballet: Ballet is an escape from all of my stress and worries, but also a way to express my thoughts and feelings without words.  Ballet forms loving communities and forges connections with people.  I love to be part of Malenkee (NCCB's Repertoire Company) because I want to be with my close friends, to share our love of ballet and dance.  I remember all our Nutcracker after-parties, when we all get together to watch the performances, but always end up laughing and talking, showing each other choreography, and discussing the upcoming spring performances. I dance and I think others should dance because it helps you heal and learn so many life lessons. It gives your life more purpose and meaning. I can't imagine my life without ballet.
