#TBT to rehearsing Des Grieux’s act one solo the day before my debut in this role with The Australian Ballet in Kenneth MacMillan’s masterpiece, Manon. One of the highlights of my career so far dancing this incredible ballet. 💜 #ballet #dance #dancer #dancing #balletdancer #mencandance #lovemyjob #yosvaniramos #worldwideballet #boysofballet #menintights #maledancer #principaldancer #lifeofadancer #manonballet #gaydancer #rehearsal #theaustralianballet #variation (at Arts Centre Melbourne) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByFrU6Iguew/?igshid=1hv69znsi393b

World Ballet Day!

[scriptballerina]

Yo, I absolutely adore your blog (and you too of course!), and so many resources here are super helpful. I wanted to write about two characters who were experts in ballet, and then realised that I know absolutely nothing about it whatsoever. Could you point towards some good resources that could really explain the basics, especially the difference between female and male dancers, training and warm ups, and basically everything the most amateur ballet dancers would need to know? Thank you!

Hi there!

You’re so sweet, I’m glad you like this blog. 

The first thing that comes to my mind is a dictionary of ballet terminology: try https://ballethub.com/ and their dictionary section at https://ballethub.com/ballet-terms-dictionary .Another good one is http://www.abt.org/education/dictionary/

Then you might want to have a peek into the real life of a ballerina, complete of jests, ballet fun and daily routines: @sometimes-im-a-ballerina is a tumblr blog run by a ballerina of the corpse de ballet of the Polish National Ballet and she also answers questions about ballet.

You may also want to have a look at how ballets are prepared, choreographed, coached, reharsed etc. I always find videos and interviews to work best for these cases, so you could look up the youtube accounts of famous dance companies and competitions, here are a few:

https://www.youtube.com/user/RoyalOperaHouse

https://www.youtube.com/user/pacificnwballet

https://www.youtube.com/user/newyorkcityballet

https://www.youtube.com/user/TheAustralianBallet

https://www.youtube.com/user/PrixdeLausanne

or for Russian Ballet: 

https://www.youtube.com/user/MariinskyEn

and this channel that is about the Vaganova Ballet Academy:   

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7kg6VMzxoR7K9j20d-EDBg/feed

And that’s all I can think of for now. If you need more specific resources just write me another message.Oh and of course, this blog also counts as reference!

Hope this helps

Me n Jarryd, just chilling. I took the duck face way too far this time, it had to be dealt with by harsh croppage. Waddled my way through class. Dance really is the cure. Back hurts way less. Mouth is healing quicker today than all week. Move your body, your blood, and you will be rewarded.
