Nichelle's Notes
Stretch, stimulate, or simply refresh your spirit and frame of mind. Challenge yourself to do all 15 or pick just a few and be primed and ready to get back to that routine at summer’s end!
@FrameDance Productions is a year old. See me and fellow Framers and if you can, go a step further, contributing for gift items like a cupcake (for our birthday, of course) to covering one month of web hosting, costumes, program printing costs and more. No amount is too small.
Rely on the feedback of a good teacher. It is usually difficult to see or feel mistakes for yourself without regular correction, adjustment, and advice. Eventually, with this training and response, you’ll begin to feel more confident that you are executing the movement with proper technique.
But remember that dancers are always fine tuning and perfecting the way they move, going beyond simply ‘correct’ and looking for the more efficient, or expressive, or dazzling way to do something. Enjoy the never-ending process!

@ClassActTutu shares a button technique for easily mixing and matching bodices to skirts.
@Bead_109 shares a visual her ballet teacher gave for help with balancing.
Nature provides really useful imagery for balancing. I tell my students about “growing” a balance… find that explanation here.
Madam @adultbeginner is not as beginnerish anymore. Total newbie asks what to expect. AB gives solid, encouraging answer with her usual flare. Cool.
Which is your favorite? Thanks @jordoncloud for the list!
@Bead_109 shares some philosophical thoughts that resonate.
Madam @adultbeginner gives some tips.
