My Very First Blog!

Hey everyone!

I'm excited to be starting this new course although a little nervous. I am currently based in Estonia so was unfortunately unable to attend induction day. Feeling quite far away from it all over here but after having my induction via skype with Paula I think I understand it all a little better now. I'm finally up and running on my blog (which is all very new to me) and just about grasped how to work the moodle site... just!

I am now into my second season at the Vanemuine Theatre Ballet which is based in a small but very beautiful city called Tartu in Estonia. I am thoroughly enjoying my job here and after 7 years of training in studios with little experience of stage experience, I can finally say it was definitely worth it. We are currently working up to the premiere of our new ballet "Raymonda" this saturday in which I'll be dancing the part of Clemence (Raymonda's best friend). Everything is pretty crazy here right now however during my breaks I am looking forward to familiarising myself with the course and all of you.

Primarily I have enrolled in the BAPP course to further my personal learning and development of new skills that dancing in a studio all day wouldn't necessarily bring. I hope to widen my knowledge on other areas of professional practice and help me to progress in my professional career. I am eager to learn from all of your own experiences through reading your blogs and networking with you. It was a shame not to meet everyone in person but hopefully there will be an opportunity when I can. Until then don't be shy and please tell me what you think on my posts.

Good luck to you all!

  1. Emma - good description and explanation - your text let's us know what you are doing - looking at your images (on your later blog) I can see this context in "Raymonda"
