Can you spot the mess-up?

Posted on by Cathy Vandewater

SO this is from like a week ago when I was working on a new floorwork routine (hence the legwarmers and the low camera angle). I’m working on finishing my freestyles instead of stopping every time I mess up (or when my leg warmers fall down), so I kept rolling. Smooth, right? 😉

Moral of the story: KEEP DANCING. Earlier in this video I snagged one of of my warmers on the floorboard, but I went with it, and when I went back to watch the vid, It totally looks like a purposeful, sexy pause. I would have hated myself if I stopped over something so small!

oh and here’s the floor work routine I was practicing (but didn’t bother posting before because it’s sooooo dark). Hard stuff, but when our instructor did it I got literal goosebumps. So imma keep pluggin!

“Before ballet” photoshoot sneak peek…

Posted on by Cathy Vandewater

I asked my best friend to snap a couple of pics of me as “before” shots, pre-ballet, to help track progress.

Weeeeelp, I forgot he is an amateur photographer, so, 5 minutes of snapshots turned into several hours of doing everything from many, many angles. And also, he is still editing all the pictures (cropping his rug and power outlets out of every photo for reasons I don’t fully understand), so, for now, just enjoy these videos of stupidity and trust that the damn pictures of me lifting a leg poorly are coming soon.

oh and here’s me trying a split because I’m still so excited I can get my legs to do this now!!!
