Are there any dance teachers here that can give me some advice about ballet?

well wat is the first thing i will do when i start my first ballet class,and wat can i do to prepareAre there any dance teachers here that can give me some advice about ballet?
most likely you'll stretch first, at my studio we do floor stretches first, then barre stretches, then we dance. Start stretching your legs everyday and you'll have a much easier time. Barre stretches are probably going to be the hardest. Find a dresser, a table, a chair, or a counter top that comes up to a littl e above your waist. Place your foot on it with your heel hanging off the edge. your ankle should be straight and not turned in. turn your foot on the ground out to the side a little. lean your body onto the leg that is up. then come up. bend at your hips down to the floor and back up (harder than it sounds) this should help you with barre stretches. As for the floor stretches, practice touching your toes, work on your splits. Just do your best. and HAVE FUN!!! (im a student no t a teacher)Are there any dance teachers here that can give me some advice about ballet?
you will stand at the barre and do plies. If your teacher is good, you'll be fine.
you will stretch and warm up about first 15 to 20 min. then if it's a basic class. they will show a move and you will likely do it in groups or across the floor in a line. im not a teacher, but took it for a couple years. they will go slow and explain everything to you. don't be afraid to ask questons.
Starting ballet lessons huh, well if i were you i would make sure i was pretty fit, try keeping your arms in fifth position for a long time. i don't know if you know the positions but i'll tell just in case you don't. Fifth position for your arms is both arms raised above your head, not too high, just so you can see your hands out of the top of your eyes while looking forward. Also don't forget to point those toes!





Have fun!!! :-)
Yup the most important thing to do before you start is to stretch. It doesnt matter whether you do floor or barre stretches first but one thing you must remember is after stretching (front, side or back) lift your leg up and then let go and try to hold your leg up there for at least 10 seconds. It may seem a little hard at first but after a while you'll get used to it.





And remember to turn out your legs no matter which position your in!





Have fun!
You will strech and then will do the basic maybe a couple of turns work on hands!!!!!!!!!
I guess if this is your first class, it would be level one.





You will learn all of the 5 positions and correct body placement, if you don't have the right placement, it will mess up your dancing. Before you do anything probably you will warm up about 10 minutes and stretch. Stretch on the floor, and slowly at your own pace and level. This is the level where you spend the most time on the barre, where it all starts. Spend about a half an hour there doing things like plies, tendus, and grande battemante. You also learn steps like jete and grande jete.You will learn many terms, even if you do not perform them, and are expected to remember these all through your dancing career.
Have a few cocktails: you'll feel relaxed and limber.
i don't teach , but I've been in dance for ever and you'll probably


strech and do some warm up exercises, them show you some stuff.

Epidural stories or advice about epidurals?

I am wondering about getting an epidural when I go into labor. I dnt want to because I dnt want to numb my legs completely, that has always been a fear of mine. I have only heard rumors of that being true though. Is it??? how does it actually feel to get an epidural, and does anyone have stories to share about their experience with it???





thanks!!Epidural stories or advice about epidurals?
its the best thing ever i just had a baby 10 days ago as soon as you get it the pain stops you do go numb from the waist down but it sure beats the pain. good luckEpidural stories or advice about epidurals?
I was planning on not getting an epi with my son but after the pain I decided to go ahead with it. To be honest I was in so much pain that once they gave me the epi I did'nt even try to see if I could feel my legs I just felt so much more relaxed. I was able to take a nap and woke up 2 hrs later and I has dilated 7cm up to 10 and it was time to push. Getting the epi itself hurt alittle. You cannot feel the needle at all but you feel a burn when the medicine goes in. It only lasts a short time though and after that I was able to enjoy everything a lot more!
this is weird my nickname is bubbles and im the same anyhow lol i had epilepsy as a child i grew out of it and the star of a fit felt like my legs going numb so i was terrified and was determined not to get the epidural but i was in sooo much pain i was screaming 4 it lol it just feels like ur legs are really heavy u can move them but they are numb to the touch its not like pins and needles r anything its ok trust me . as for putting it in the give u a lanesthetictetic first that stings a bit nothing major after that its great . just make sure u time it right my wore off an hour b4 i started pushing but up to then it was great gud look
I am a huge fan of the epidural!! I know it's a personal choice,but for me it made the whole process almost enjoyable ie; no pain, lol.I had the same fears as you but after 9 hours on pitocin and a stalled labor, i was exhausted and in a lot of pain.The epidural made me relax and that helped greatly with my labor and delivery....p.s. my legs didn't go numb, I just had no more pain.Whatever you decide... good luck the payoff is priceless!

Marriage advice on this site about swinging?

I have been reading through several of the marriage questions and there are lots of comments about swinging and sugggesting it. Do couples really swing? And doesn't it hurt your marriage? I think it sounds great as a fantasy, and my wife and I have been married 10 years, but I don't know if we could ever go through with it. Is it really benefical for those couples who agree to do it? Marriage advice on this site about swinging?
I tried it with my ex husband and it was the dumbest thing we did, it helped end our marriage. Course he is an extremely jealous person and it was stupidity on my part to agree to do it, but I wanted to please him (and I was a bit curious) we agreed to only the women having sex together and not swapping men, however he couldn't handle another man seeing me in my birthday suit and commenting on my body! Just be careful!Marriage advice on this site about swinging?
It depends greatly on the couple. The couple who swings must be very secure and committed and have very strong and open communication. If there are things you don't feel you can talk about with your partner then swinging is probably not for you until you resolve that. If there are issues in your relationship, swinging WILL NOT fix those issues and it will most likely make them worse.





Yes, millions of couples do swing and they do so without damaging their relationships. It should not be looked at as something beneficial but you should examine whether or not you feel that it could damage your relationship. Most often the greatest damage is done when one partner gets the idea stuck in their head and won't let it go. Swinging has to be something that both partners want and can talk openly about before they ever really take a step towards doing it.



I tried it. My ex-husband was a sex addict and swinging or otherwise including sex partners was just a way of justifying his behavior. We had a few positive experiences but in the end it contributed to the destruction of our marriage. I'm sorry but I believe if you enter that into your love life it will bring drama and open the door for lying, cheating and betrayal.


I don't know anyone who has been successful at swinging without breaking up their relationship.
Some people do it. Some get a lot out of it. Some can even build healthier relationships from it. But many people are hurt by it. Swinging is something that is probably only for a certain type of person. If you;re unsure about it, it's probably not for you. Last thing you want is to try it and one person love it while the other one hates it. That is a problem you do not want in your marriage.
I have a girlfriend that has been a swinger for over 15 years, she's an admited sexaholic and the situations she's been in are truly scary. Swinging isn't for me, and I would be very careful, but there are alot of people you would be surprised to learn that do it. My gf is a doctor and has multiple degrees, she just loves the action, my husband and I curl our toes at her stories.
Some couples benefit from it, but most are hurt by it.
i wish we could both swing but then the weight would break the swing so nope... we don't try knowing the consequences will not end well

I need some advice about a girl?

Ok so me and this girl have like eachother almost all summer but we were talking about dating the other day and she said she wants us to take our time and she doesnt want to date anyone right now. Should i just wait until she is ready or move on to someone else. Or if u have any other ideas let me know.I need some advice about a girl?
do what feels riteI need some advice about a girl?
If you really like her and think that you could have a great relationship, give it some time. During that time, get closer to her and give her reasons to want to date you. Wait it out for a month or so, and then see how she feels. If she still says she isn't ready, it might be time for you to move on because it may mean she isn't serious about a relationship, or is too emotionally unstable to be in one.
Well, if you really like her, isn't she worth the wait? If you really like her and want to take things further, you'll have to be patient. Be her friend (don't bombard her with flowers and gifts, and follow her around everywhere) just let her know you like spending time with her.


However, just make sure she's seriously not interested in dating anyone now, to make sure she's not playing you or trying to let you down easily, try to find out if she does really like you before you try to get closer to her.


If you don't feel like waiting around for her, chances are, you don't like her as much as you thought, which is not a bad thing, so there's no harm in moving on. Just make sure, that if you don't want to wait, you tell her out straight you don't want to be with her in the future. She'll probably appreciate you being honest with her, instead of finding out in a few weeks that you're with someone else when you hadn't told her you weren't going to wait for her.


Even if you don't gain a romance, you may gain a friend out of it, seeing as you both like each other.


Best of luck! x
Act like a chef! Put her on the back burner and let her simmer. When Meanwhile start cooking up something else. When she needs your attention stir her around a bit and try the flavor. You'll know if its coming out right. If not...dump it in the sink.





Now look...you made me hungry. Thanks!





No really. do what makes you happiest and never what you think is a waste of time
depends on how much you like her.





if you really like her then keep asking, dont go to over the top so she gets annoyed, but let her no that you are intrested in her.





although it may be her way of giving you the brush off :S so maybe just ask her to go somewhere as mates first and just drop hints about you liking her.





I hope it works out :) goodluck

It depends. If you feel strongly, wait. I know that if a boy waited for me to be ready, I'd love him even more. If you feel that she's not worth it, then don't. I know it's hard cause you probably really like her, but at the same time you wanna try new ppl and you wanna save ur dignity and pride. Whatever you do will be right.
I would just ask her why she doesn't want to date anyone right now. Is that her way of saying she doesn't want to date you or does she really not want to date anyone right now? If she says she doesn't want to date you, I'd move on and find someone else.
The choice is up to you. But if you really really like her (enough to marry) then I say you better wait. Don't pass up the ';might be right girl'; because of a little waiting. Be a man and show girls and guys that all guys aren't obsessed with girls.
move on to someone else...FOR NOW . i can tell you , girls are always chasing after guys with girlfriends . if she said no , it's her loss . her fault . over . done . ((: whenever she's ready , (that'll happen soon) ask her out (: good luck .
Well, you can wait till she's ready or just move on, thats your own decision that we can't do for you





Good luck though :]

Depends. If you think she's worth it then wait. You can take that time to develop a deep friendship before starting to date.
well if you really like her then you can wait until shes ready but you also cant wait forever
If you really love her than she would be worth the wait, but let me ask you a Q....Would you wanna marry her? That's the whole point of dating right?





Hope I helped!
Maybe you should keep her around as a friend, but also see other people as well.
It all depends on how much you like her and how soon she'll want to start dating.
move on but don't tell her u moving on
Don't waste your time waiting for her. You have all this energy to live with! Like they say ';There are many fish in the sea'; :)
Move on, chances are you'll both find someone else.
';...she said she wants us to take our time and she doesnt want to date anyone right now';





Move on. She's not interested.
MOVE ON you don't have all your life to wast on time wasters.
Aww! Okay, I'm a girl and I think you should wait! Its really superficcial to move on like that %26gt;:(
yup just move on! theres better girls out there
yes wait
Maybe she's just not that into you?


Move on and don't waste time.
if you're willing to wait do so ,if not look for someone who shares your interest

Hamburger, brown? Need advice about the freshness.?

I took out a pound of hamburger to thaw out yesterday and now it looks all brown and so does the blood. Do you think that it is okay to eat?Hamburger, brown? Need advice about the freshness.?
meat starts to turn brown when it comes into contact with open air and oxygen. i know most people don't believe it and throw away a completely good meat. here's a better explanation:





http://ask.metafilter.com/21292/Why-does鈥?/a>Hamburger, brown? Need advice about the freshness.?
Yes, as long as it still smells good, it's fine!
If it smells bad, throw it out. If it does not smell bad and the inside of the beef is red, I would suggest frying it up right away!!!
Smell it. If it smells sour then throw it out.
I am a total freak about not getting food poisoning and stuff, if it looks bad, smells bad, it prob tastes bad, I wouldnt eat it....
All meat will turn brown after freezing --- just smell it to make sure.
If you have to ask, I'd probably just toss it. Better safe than sorry. It's just hamburger. Buy a new pack.
i'm not sure, i do know that hot dogs are dyed pink. Or else they would be brown and no one would buy them. So they're apparently edible once dyed, so i'd imagine you can still eat this beef although it's seen better days. If it's thawed out i'd smell it, doesn't smell rotten you're ok.
as long as it was frozen before the use before date and you've had no problems with the freezer...it should be completely fine. That usually happens when I freeze meat in the container it comes and I still use and haven't gotten sick from it. So I think it'll be ok!
i would toss it
The problem is that it was frozen too long, and probably not wrapped properly. It's ';freezer Burn';. The meat will not make you ill, but the flavor won't be as good as it should be, and it will be quite dry. I'd throw it out and buy a new pkg.
If it doesnt smell its fine.
when meat turns brown it is because it has had much exposure to air. it doesnt hav to do with wether it is ok to eat or not. you should smell it. if it smells fine then it is probably ok to eat. but you should also use self judgement and common sense about it. dont eat it if u think it is possibly not ok to eat.
Noooo.... The best meat is always red. The redder, the fresher. That's why when you go to the supermarket, you should always look for the ground meat that is red. Brown means it's old.





Hope this helped! : )
