As this site closes down, I thought of sharing helpful Instagram accounts on ballet technique and cross-training. I'm under @tourjete32 on that platform, documenting my journey and struggles. @athletistry - terrific teacher with lots of videos on how to work up to more advanced movements and building up strength for them @runqaiodu  @adam.ashcroft - often lists what his mind is focusing on as he is performing turns and jumps @howlyballet - some instruction, but I really love watching his students' allegro combinations. Wish I could take a class with him! Feel free to share your favorites ..read more

Hello everyone. I've been thinking for a long while about a particular topic, and it specifically relates to men's dress code in ballet companies/schools. For a while I have consistently worn a simple dance T-shirt (white or black), black or blue footless tights with white socks, and black ballet shoes; for both of my dance schools, this attire and the colors I wore were accepted and I feel very comfortable wearing this clothing in class. I've worn both colors of tights in the same style during some of my recent recital performances. However, at home, I do have other pairs of ballet tights at ..read more
