Quite recently, I reviewed the cartoon "Anastasia" from Disney. And there was such a character-Anastasia Romanova's grandmother. She loved Russian ballet. My small selection of works on this topic.
These shoes are a work of art. For some reason, only recently I felt why in my opinion it was invented. When the movement in the dance is based on the toes of the foot, there is a feeling of airiness, extension and flight. Or, on the contrary, folk dances (I studied Russian and Indian dances a little) are based on the heel. And from these movements comes a sense of earth, solidity and strength.
I fell in love with ballet at a conscious age, about 23 years old. And this love happened not from the stage but from the training days of the dancers. At that time, I really wanted to dance. I moved to a new city, and I didn't know how the world of dancers worked here. I was looking for an adult dance school and found an adult ballet group. The teacher was from God. I really liked the severity and seriousness in relation to the dance class. I was engaged in various dances almost all my childhood, but I met such endurance and love and rigor for the first time. It seemed to me that all my life I was looking for just such an attitude to my favorite business.
On a burst of inspiration, I took a double load and failed. I couldn't study at this pace. Then I had a baby, and soon this group was closed. It seems that the classes did not last long, but I think that I will carry this feeling of love through my whole life.
And I've never worn pointe shoes in my life. But still everything can be))
And these are screenshots of the drawing process. A video that no one else has seen)) And do you know where it all stopped? I need to learn how to process video. Now it weighs 2.6 GB, which is a lot. I tried various programs for several days, but without achieving the desired result, I abandoned them until better times.
