End of Year Concert Memories



Over the weekend the Pointed Toes team was busy helping out some of our friends at their End of Year Dance concerts.

It brought back so many memories for us, with the smell of hair spray, sequins and glitter and of course the feeling of nerves and excitment in the air.

The Pointed Toes team would like to congratulate our friends for putting on such amazing End of year productions to top off 2009.

Angelina and the English National Ballet


Angelina Ballerina is performed by the English National Ballet and is based on the original drawings and stories from the book series.
The dancers preform in full mouse costumes including big ears, tails, whiskers and can be quite gruelling as the padded prosthetic mouse heads can be very heavy and make you claustrophobic.
Angelina not only does some wonderful ballet pirouettes during the performance but she also breaks out into some disco, hip-hop and even a tap number.
Angelina Ballerina is coming to Sydney's State Theatre from December 10 and is a great show for all ages.

Pointed Toes and Yoga



The Pointed Toes team has recently been doing some Private Yoga Lessons and we have discovered that yoga has some great benefits for us Dancers.

Yoga involves a series of physical poses and would be a great way for Dancers to relax between classes, rehearsals, and performances, while still maintaining flexibility and strength.

We highly recommend you try a class today.

Yoga has also inspired the PT team to start supplying Yoga Wear, so keep a look out for some exciting new Yoga gear coming to the Online shop soon.

MJ Medley

Since the passing of Michael Jackson a few months ago, there has been a number of artists and performers who have been so inspired by MJ's music and have to wanted to express their own take on his work.

We found this great video of two performers Sam Tsui and Kurt Schneider who have done a Capella medley of a number of MJ's songs from Thriller to Man in the Mirror.

There isn't any dance moves in the video but the Pointed Toes team loved the medley so much that we could imagine a great dance routine choreographed to it.
