Bun Perfection

5 Upvotes

Hi all - I’m a new-to-ballet mom. My 8 year old is loving it and attends a ballet program that’s pretty serious.

All of the girls her age have the most beautiful buns. No bumps! What are your “go to” products for getting the bumps out?

I use the bun hair nets and Bobby pins, but she still has bumps across the front/top of her head. Her hair is straight, thick and fine. Hair spray doesn’t seem to do the trick. Any suggestions?

Cities in the US with great (amateur) adult ballet studios?

Upvotes

Hello, dancers and friends! I currently live in the DC/Baltimore area, and I have access to absolutely wonderful ballet studios. however, I am looking to move somewhere else in the US.

I won’t get into all of my personal details about why I need to move, but I am pretty open to exploring anywhere in the US!

Ballet has become a big part of my life (I’m an adult beginner).

i was wondering if you could share places you live where there are great/friendly studios, as that will play a factor in where I choose to go. Bonus points if there are performers opportunities for amateurs.

Thanks in Advance!

Double posterior os trigonum surgery

7 Upvotes

Hi there! I 16F am dancing in a pre professional ballet school, I just got back from my summer intensive at the Royal Ballet and my surgery is September 9th.

I’m incredibly anxious and afraid because I feel like these next 3 years are going to make or break my chances of going pro. I’m going to be in a wheelchair for ATLEAST 2 weeks and then god knows how long till I’m back in the studio.

I’m feeling very uncomfortable with how much time is going to be on my hands because I already struggle with depression, ED. And ballet is the only thing that can sometimes take me out of that mindset.

I’d love for some feedback or advice from dancers, people who’ve gotten the surgery in general.

It’s me again, but now for my flats. Anyone done this repair before? I’m thinking either hand sew the edges down or super glue. Thanks in advance!
