About Me
the Pointe of my life

A little bit about karleanne...

I am a girl who looooves ballet!  here are a few ballet facts about me...

pointe shoes size/style: Capezio Infinita, size 3 1/2
favorite area of ballet: the adage stuff.  port de bras, etc.
least favorite area of ballet: free movement.  I suck at it!
biggest ballet challenge: my flexibility.  I'm not naturally flexible at all.  had to work for years to get my splits
better leg: right
i started when: I was three? four?
favorite brand: bloch(prounced block, not blosh)

Ballet,
ballet
ballet!

Ten reasons ballet is the best...
10. it keeps you in shape
9. you look pretty doing it
8. everyone is in awe of you
7. you get to retire at age 35
6. no one complains if you're anorexic(just kidding!  eat! eat!)
5. when you don't have time for a pedicure, you can just put on some bandaids and talk about how pointe kills your feet; everyone suddenly thinks you're way cool, instead of lazy for having chipped polish
4. you get to walk around in skimpy clothes, and just say you're getting ready for dance early
3. you have a very good excuse for not playing a sport!
2. you don't have to work at building a positive self-image, since teachers and coreographers tear it down anyway
1. you have a good excuse for flaking out on everything!  just call it "artistic temperment!"
