Yhdell\u00e4 tunnilla viikossa vain ei edistyst\u00e4 juuri p\u00e4\u00e4se tapahtumaan. Min\u00e4 olen sit\u00e4 tyyppi\u00e4 joka vaatii ohjausta, jotta tulee tehty\u00e4 asioita. Kotona baletoiminen ei siis ole oikein ottanut tuulta allensa, vaikka yritys on ollut kova. Kotona kun on aina paljon muutakin puuhaa.<\/p>\n<p>Se on kurjaa ett\u00e4 ei p\u00e4\u00e4se t\u00e4ysipainoisesti harrastamaan sit\u00e4 ainoaa lajia josta oikeasti nauttii. Olen lis\u00e4ksi ollut aika monelta tunnilta pois, osin sairastelun, osin laiskuuden ja muiden kiireiden vuoksi. Ostin kuitenkin itselleni taas t\u00e4n\u00e4kin vuonna joululahjaksi uudet k\u00e4rkitossut. En aio luovuttaa ja aion tulevanakin vuonna ajaa kerran viikossa Tampereelle balettitunnille. Tarvitsisin my\u00f6s kipe\u00e4sti uuden balettiasun. En vain ole l\u00f6yt\u00e4nyt siihen sopivaa kangasta. Minulla on yksi kiva toppi jonka ajattelin k\u00e4ytt\u00e4\u00e4 asun yl\u00e4osaan, mutta alaosaa varten pit\u00e4\u00e4 ostaa napakkaa trikoota.<\/p>\n<p>Ennen t\u00e4t\u00e4 p\u00e4iv\u00e4\u00e4 en ole tiennyt ett\u00e4 k\u00e4rkitossu-steppaus on joku juttu. Mutta n\u00e4emm\u00e4 se on. En siis ole ollut ihan hakoteill\u00e4 kun olen haaveillut baletin lis\u00e4ksi steppauksen opettelusta. Eip\u00e4 sill\u00e4, n\u00e4ill\u00e4 nilkoilla tuskin k\u00e4rkitossuilla l\u00e4hdett\u00e4isiin ihan \u00e4kki\u00e4 steppailemaan. Haaveita on hyv\u00e4 olla. Ihailkaa siis n\u00e4it\u00e4 taitavia naisia. Mik\u00e4 vauhti! Ilmeisesti k\u00e4rkitossusteppaus oli suosittua 20- ja 30-luvuilla.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/inenglish.gif\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7004\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/11\/inenglish.gif?resize=214%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"214\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This year has been a bit bleh for me on ballet-wise. In Sastamala, where we live, there is no affordable ballet lessons. Dance schools are a bit out of my budget really. So I have to go to Tampere, nearest large town, for ballet. I don&#8217;t mind, I really do like our teacher. However driving weekly to Tampere after work is getting rather hard and that&#8217;s why I have to settle for just one weekly class. Unfortunately one class per week is not very affective. I don&#8217;t really progress at all. I am the type of guy who needs the trainer to tell me what to do, to get it done. Otherwise I just slack. So doing ballet at home hasn&#8217;t really worked for me, even though I try and try. But I got so much more things to do at home.<\/p>\n<p>It is a bit of a bummer that I can&#8217;t really do ballet more. After all, it is the only exercise I really enjoy doing. I have also been absent on quite many lessons. Partially due to illness but also lazyness and other obligations. Despite of that I bought myself another pair of pointe shoes again for this Christmas. I am not going to give up and will drive once a week to Tampere again next year. I would also desperately need new ballet leotard. I just haven&#8217;t found suitable fabric for it yet. I have one nice top for it, but the bottom requires sturdy jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Before today I did not know pointe tap dance is a thing. But apparently it is. So I haven&#8217;t been far out, when I have been dreaming of taking tap dance lessons. Not that I can start doing pointe tap any time soon. But you gotta have dreams, right. So admire these skillful ladies. Look at that speed! Apparently pointe tap was popular in 20&#8217;s and 30&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/newpointe1.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-14186\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/newpointe1.jpg?resize=750%2C1024\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/newpointe1.jpg?resize=750%2C1024 750w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/newpointe1.jpg?resize=147%2C200 147w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/newpointe1.jpg?resize=220%2C300 220w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/newpointe1.jpg?resize=768%2C1048 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/newpointe1.jpg?w=800 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_14187\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-14187\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/newpointe2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-14187 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/newpointe2.jpg?resize=800%2C490\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/newpointe2.jpg?w=800 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/newpointe2.jpg?resize=150%2C92 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/newpointe2.jpg?resize=300%2C184 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.evildressmaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/newpointe2.jpg?resize=768%2C470 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-14187\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Uskomatonta mutta totta, t\u00e4m\u00e4 on jo nelj\u00e4s parini k\u00e4rkitossuja. \/ <br \/>Unbelievable, but this is already my fourth pair of pointe shoes.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PRG8Q_o4Blk\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UqHV8VHpDxc\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nqmQBu544Es\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T\u00e4m\u00e4 vuosi on ollut baletin suhteen minulle v\u00e4h\u00e4n bleh.
