Giselle in the park
This dance was based in the medival era so you get to see lots of traditional type of ballet dancing. The beautiful lines they create are so poised and elegant. The half bent of the pointe shoes, the seemingly everlasting air-borne moments, the flawless lifts and the willowy skitrts just draws me into their world.
It's really nice to watch a ballet performance after not dancing ballet for a year plus already. It really reminds me how much i missed dancing. I really start to doubt my decicsion for stopping cause now its just so hard to get back.
Bev and I brought a cute lil picnic basket along. It's really sumptuous. There are ham and egg sandwiches, mushroom-cheese sandwich and mangoes as a dessert. Yum isnt it?
We were bored during intermission.
The lead dancer, Xia Hai Ying, who danced as Giselle. She was really good. She was practically dancing the whole 2 hours.
Ohh ya at the end of the whole performance there was a lucky draw prize presentation of a $600 watch. So anticlimax!
