I know it’s been a lot about ballet here lately, but once I got the hang of it I find it hard slow myself down. There is something so beautiful, personal and fragile about ballet, and I got so inspired by this gorgeous lace dress I purchased second hand from westartedthis. Ballet is the most beautiful form of art I know and the only sport I am really passionated about.

My intention was to write a long text about ballet and what it means to me, but when I started to think about it, I came to realize it’s a story I want to keep for myself. Instead I’ll let these beautiful pictures speak for themselves. I think these pictures are my absolute favorite pictures ever published in this blog. I hope you like them as much as I do.

“I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say the dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?”

When I was younger I used to dance classic ballet. I loved it and I was pretty good I think. I always had trouble remembering the routines but my technique was good. I still feel strongly for ballet and I really enjoy watching a show at the opera ever now and then. It’s so graceful, elegant and extremely disciplined which makes me really appreciate it.

Ballet has played a big role in my life and it has also been very helpful in my modeling career. I have learned to know my body, how to move and I’m able to control and be aware of also smaller details like hands and fingers, that can play a big role in photographs.

Today I took a little walk through memory lane and laced up my ballet shoes. I have been wanting to look up a dance studion for some adult lessons in classic ballet and today’s twirl on the dance floor (aka living room) inspired me to do something about it. Maybe I’ll become a prima ballerina after all? Well before my big break through happen I’ll continue practicing with Greta <3.
