[i] ">In your contribution to the recent "Hygiene" thread, you said that you sometimes take 3 or 4 classes a day. Are you working full-time for a major company? How long have you been dancing professionally? <br> ">That many classes suggests you are training for a performance. What role, and in which work? Also, what are your favourite roles?<br> ">Thanks!"<p>I don't dance professionally, even though I have been into ballet for more than 20 years.<p>My maternal great-grandfather was an entrepreneur...heck no!....he was a gambler, who started many different businesses. The business of my family has always been business. My mother didn't like my interest in ballet, and still doesn't. So if I wasn't in the family's business, I was really out of everything. I could never pursue my dreams of ballet, but that couldn't keep me out of ballet.<p>I can arrange my schedules to suit me. (There are a lot of "young turks" at the office who do the real work....I'm usually on the web at sites like this or reading the dance-world news. They really only need me to "sign-off" on things.) I can take long lunches for an afternoon class. I can leave early for late-afternoon classes. Nobody expects me home, so I take classes at night. As I'm still part of the family, I am fortunate to be able to afford private coaching. Often under my three piece Brooks Brothers' suits I'm still wearing my tights and dancebelt!<p>There are about seven or eight studios that I attend regularly. I do arrange ballet vacations, where I take different classes most of the day.<p>I have been asked to do roles from time to time, but shy away from them. I do like to do "character" roles from time-to-time. But I really enjoy ballet classes, and although I know many different people from classes, never seem to make friends. I guess I'm afraid that friends may take away from my pursuits.<p>About half the money I make I spend on ballet and ballet-realted stuff. (I used to spend lots of money on horses, and played polo to impress the guys in my family, but I grew out of that!)<p>I understand when guys talk about wanting to have a career in ballet...my life just didn't go that way.<p>So that's that! balletboy<br><br><br>[/i]
