Ballet in Life

Ballet its such an influence in the world that there are even movies about it, like the black swan which its the most recognized. I liked this movie not only because its about ballet but also because it let us see what its behind the show, how ballet gets to a point in their lifes that its everything they think about and that they do not care what they have to do to be the best of all. It also show us how it can affect their lifes to the point of completely change just to be the character they have to be. How dancers give their life just to be the best just to know they accomplished what they most wanted in the world its something really touching for me because its not just to ballerinas but to everyone that you can realize you can do whatever you want as long as you work for it.

Ballet in Colombia

"Ballet, tierra colombiana", this academy was created august 1, 1979 by Fernando Urbina, rigth now "Tierra Colombiana" its one of the most representatives ballet at the profesional level that Colombia has. They make combinations between colombian and ballet sounds making it elegant but at the same time showing some cultural information from Colombia. They also change the traditional cloth of ballet to something that represents more the history they are telling.

Ballet Hairstyle

In my case I have always wondered why the ballet dancers put their hair in a big bun and now I know it. If they let their hair down when their doing all the moves it would just disturb them because it would get in all their faces which can make them do an incorrect movement or take away their concentration. Besides I think its a beautiful hairstyle and it makes it look more elegant which its pretty good for a dance like ballet that its all about elegance and feelings.

Now I am leaving you a video in case you want to learn how to do it.
