My instructor said I would be going on in the fall but...we have a Summer Dance Camp and you could move up a level or go on pointe shoes quicker. I have 2 weeks to get my self ready how can I get more arch in my foot? How will I get better allignment? Cuz I sooooo badly want to get on. I know there are some expierenced dancers out there and I really need all the help I can get!!!!!!!!!

Ie, normal pencils, not the water ones, nor the cosmetic ones.

do you think that maybe they did it because they were tormented beyond what anyone could understand and maybe they are the true victims. do you think society should give them another chance and fund a special program just to help these poor souls?

Pork barrel philosphy is only for those who have a barrel! At one point in time, the number of smart people available to fill the large room available diminished as a result of several futile conflicts. Would we be already colonising the universe had we kept our brains in the barrel so to speak?

Polo is silent about the Great Wall. So who was the first Westerner to see it, or even hear about it?

OK...try to remain open minded reading this and ask yourself the question again after youve read it fully.

If I see an object sitting in front of me, lets say a shoe and you can see it too. You may tell me that you can see exactly the same as I do but how do I know what you are really experiencing?

We may both call it blue but can you say with certainty that were both experiencing the same thing, given the fact that 'blue' is just a label and although individually we may experience the same thing each time we look at it, in effect we could be seeing something completely different. Since it remains constant we give it this label each time we experience it.

Taking this small example we can apply it to the rest of our senses and soon we can see by following this logic that although each experience we have is intrinsically personal and may remain constant, we have no way of knowing for certain that other people's senses are the same as our own.

The background sample is Billie Jean, in the song, and some of the words are: bounce left, bounce right, go ahead and shuffle it....
I think it just came out about this time last year, and I still can't get it when I go to the clubs.

I start practicing English since last month. I want to speak fluently, elegantly & write effectively with correct English. As I am working in a trading company, I need to stay at office 9:00 am to 9:00pm. During my office time I am not always busy. In the morning I first update my incoming e-mail message & reply to our suppliers & concerned people according to the supervision of our Director. Second, I manage time to read silently a story & after lunch hear a songs by microphone with rapt attention.In the afternoon when I get some time I try to write the theme / summary of the story & song with simple English which I read & heard. After office hour I return home by bus. It takes 1.15 minutes to reach our home. In the bus I soliloquize (speak to myself) English on my read topics & memorise imprtant words from my diary. But I can not feel that my English is improving. Please advice me a new process. Please!

I'm very flexible, can do the splits no problem and have been dancing for ever! though not professionaly. I can lift my leg up to my ears when doing grand battements! however when I have to maintain it held high up a la second or in front it drops and I find it really hard to sustain. I know i must be using my hamstrings too much because I can feel it. Do you know of any exercises to improve this? Or is there any trick? Some girls look as if they could be smoking a cigarette while having the leg very high up with no apparent effort. All they say to me is that one day it just happened!
