This week (24.06.-30.06.), I felt inspired to try something new: A selection of workouts inspired by the masterpiece that is Shōjo Kakumei Utena. The inspiration here wasn't the body image of 90s Shōjo, but rather the ways the characters move. The idea was to pretend that I was preparing to fight those hyper mannerist duels. Since I'm very limited in what I can do at home (no kendo, no fencing, not even basketball...) AND since the duels themselves are metaphorical kaleidoscopes of dance, fencing and freudian shenanigans, I picked a selection that combines factors that would go into this way: focusing on strength, flexibility and endurance, as well as balance, grace and control.

I personally headcanon that before he started to use magic and wore himself out Mikey would dance ballet to relieve himself of the stress. Casey Jr saw him do it one day and asked him to teach him, and so he knows how to ballet. I’m going to manifest this into canon by sheer willpower.

Nutcracker is so alien to me as a ballet at this point like you're telling me people actually go to Nutcracker to see people dance? They don't go to the Nutcracker to hear the violin melodies in act 1 scene 1? They don't want to hear the clarinet runs in Spanish dance? They don't want to hear the harp cadenza at the beginning of Waltz of the Flowers? They don't want to hear the cello line and build in the pas de deux? Tchaikovsky put so many intricate melodies and orchestration and this is how you repay him??? /lh
