Welcome! You've landed in the Alchemy Ballet Academy! This space is for YOU to get what you need. Ballet is an athletic storytelling art. Our bodies are our tools, and training healthily is vital. We are still artists. There's a fine line between classical virtuosity and self-satisfied tricks; we uphold the belief that art should be foremost. ✅Bring your art here; let's see it, and celebrate it! We are dancers and teachers, all of us learning. Nobody has 'arrived', we can all learn from each other, but experience should be respected and listened to. Scientifically-backed technical training is sometimes new and contrary to the traditional methods, let's explore the new ways so that we can all be safer and healthier. ✅Ask your questions! 💡Bring the new developments here! We value and respect diversity while acknowledging the historically-rooted problems inherent in the art and trying to pave a way forwards. A place where PEOPLE are valued. There is no room here for bitchiness or poor behaviour of any sort. ✅Whoever you are, you deserve to dance. We are here to support and help you! 🌟🌟🌟 If you're new here, WELCOME! 👏 We'd love to get to know you! Pick a question to answer, for your first post in our great new community: ➡️ If you could dance any role, which would you choose? ➡️ Which ballet storyline would you change, and how? ➡️ Which ballet character do you really dislike, and why? ➡️ What style of classical dance is your favourite? We'd love to see a pic, or vid, of you dancing, or your choreography!
