You really can't dance or even do class properly without fat and some protein. I'll let you in on a secret. Many female ballet dancers carry with them at all times, dark chocolate bars (especially with nuts). The nuts provide fats and protein, the small amount of sugar provide boost of energy, and the cocoa itself combats PMS and is a mood enhancer.<br /><br />As a half-Russian person involved in dance, there are subtle clues on how to tell whether Russian ballet teacher is closer to 35 or 75. Straight hair combed into a bun or worn long/ eye makeup only= 45 to 55 years old. Short hair (permed)/ eye makeup and bright pink lipstick= 55 to 65 years old. Short hair (straight)/ eyeliner only and red lipstick= 35 to 45 years old. Bouffant hairdo/ light pink lipstick or no makeup= 65 to 75 years old.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-5954072816825751192011-08-18T11:18:26.677-07:002011-08-18T11:18:26.677-07:00Wow you're really awesome AJ!!Wow you're really awesome AJ!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-55111608305301154042011-08-18T06:00:24.838-07:002011-08-18T06:00:24.838-07:00We recently gained a Russian ballet teacher at our...We recently gained a Russian ballet teacher at our rink--and it's just as you describe: We can't tell whether she's 35 or 75!JenBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02424601308294810255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-9917149038794627572011-08-17T20:38:03.919-07:002011-08-17T20:38:03.919-07:00what is boot shapening? keep this up I really lov...what is boot shapening? keep this up I really love reading stuff like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-88883264601515062382011-08-17T19:19:09.873-07:002011-08-17T19:19:09.873-07:00I am IMPRESSED !!!I am IMPRESSED !!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-26011739792172514482011-08-17T17:48:24.615-07:002011-08-17T17:48:24.615-07:00Congratulations on following your dreams.
