Since I was
a child I always admired people who had the natural talent, and I mean really
talent, for dancing. I think not everybody has the needed skills to make the
moves that professional dancers does, but if there is something that life has
teaches me is about working hard to reach your goals, so in the last months I
have been really interested in taking classes of Ballet. I know in my country
practicing this beautiful discipline is something that people joke around when
it is practiced by men, but since a long time ago the opinion of people about
whatever I like or I try to do is something not relevant for me. Ok, returning
to Ballet, I think the most I like about it is to put all your weight in only
one finger of your foot, I mean, can you imagine how difficult might be to develop
the precision and the correct technique to finally can do that beautiful pose.
When I started the college I made really good friends, and one of them lives in
one of the San Borja Towers, in front of the Alameda Ave. and with the view of
the Cultural Center Gabriela Mistral, and the last year when I where in the
balcony I noticed people practicing Ballet in one of the practice rooms that
the center puts disposition to the public. I automatically thought how great
would be to practice Ballet with that spectacular view of the main avenue of
the city, and I researched a little bit about this classes and I finally found
that they are all students of the Municipal Theatre and they practice two days
per week in that place, and the rest of the week they do their normal classes
in the theatre. But I wanted more, so I continued researching and finally I
found the website of one school of Ballet here in Santiago, and they offer a
part-time class for people who wants to learn in a non-professional way the art
of Ballet. Anyway, I feel really attracted to this and I am planning to maybe take
some classes the next year, I think this is something that is already in my “2017
to do list”.
