Robbie, I've found your youtube channel and watched some of your videos. Wow! You are a really good young ballerina! Keep on working hard, I'm pretty sure you'll do just fine. =)
ReplyDeleteThen I came to your blog and got really excited for you... ABTSI!!! This is soooo cool!
I remember myself when I was younger, I took "Cuballet" in january of 1999, when the Alicia Alonso Ballet Company from Cuba came to São Paulo/Brazil for the first time, to give summer intensive ballet classes. I was 19 then, and it was an amazing dance experience for me!
Nowadays, I'm not a professional dancer, I'm just an adult lawyer who loves ballet and all other types of dancing... I just take Ballet classes now because it is what makes me REALLY happy and forget all other problems!
The only thing I'd like to say to you is: keep doing the thing you love, keep DANCING!
Best regards for you, from Brazil.
Ana.
