Sculpted Fingers
After poring over Patricio Melo’s stunning photographs of Ballet de Santiago with my students (see July 13th post below), I asked my summer school Ballet I class to imitate the close-up image of the hands from the Ballet de Santiago dancer in La Bayadere. Here they are:
And here they are again, minus the hands as art. (But these girls are works of art themselves.) I am also experimenting with changing the file size of my pictures, so hopefully the download time for the blog will improve…. Only one week remaining in summer term 2008.
What sweeties.

Pretty, pretty, pretty & pretty.

I feel silly, I have a tiny bug bite and hope you don’t notice, I’m getting hungry, & Can we do that again?
What I wish for these girls, and all the others at the school, is that they could somehow hang on to the demeanor they have right now…not apologetic, not self-conscious, not self-effacing. BTW: silly is right on for girl on the left! And I’m pretty sure all were hungry when I snapped these, as class had just ended.
