When I was fifteen years old I had the pleasure of training full-time under Marie Walton- Mahon. Marie’s classical coaching is world class and it is an honour to share her new program Progressing Ballet Technique.
Progressing Ballet Technique
I am a dancer. I believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living…. In each it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one’s being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes in some area an athlete of God. ~Martha Graham, c.1953
