It is also a moody painting on glass, mother of pearl in the forefront on 2 stones, black, 2 dimensional fence upfront and far back by castle. It is nighttime but the moon is bright and sky is blue around it, and the moon and some windows of the castle also have mother of pearl in them. I just noticed for the first time in the lower left of the painting next to the front rectangular stones is a small patch of what is probably water. There are 2 large trees that frame the caste and path to the castle. The frame is ornate and probably the original but it's not heavy. I am 45 and my grandparents are long passed, and I am assuming an "Irish" connection but not sure. It isn't signed and I haven't found anything on the back but hesitate to open it up to see. Any info would be appreciated. thanksSun, 04 Sep 2011 22:19:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/Pointe-shoes-not-lasting-on-new-dancer-q2685066http://www.maybenow.com/Pointe-shoes-not-lasting-on-new-dancer-q2685066I'm a frustrated Mom with a frustrated 13 year old daughter. She began pointe in June with two 90 minute classes a week. Her first pair of shoes (Principal J's)lasted for 10 classes. In our community there is one dance store with limited brands. These were the ones that fit her foot. Ok so they weren't very strong shoes. Her teachers say she has a strong arch. She also has a high arch and narrow heel. With a death in the family, we were out of town last week and found another store with more brands and styles. She probably tried 20 shoes - various brands, styles, and sizes. What fit and felt very well was Block Axiom. After 4 classes, the block is soft and the shank is breaking. What now? None of the other beginning pointe students have broken down their shoes yet. The older girls at the studio are offering advice to brands to try but all of them get by with 2-3 pair per year. We are willing to drive to Chicago but don't know what to look for.   Sat, 27 Aug 2011 22:40:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/FA-result-Gujranwala-board-q24119702http://www.maybenow.com/FA-result-Gujranwala-board-q24119702Mon, 05 Sep 2011 08:30:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/are-there-any-spells-to-become-a-fairy-or-mermaid-q24003058http://www.maybenow.com/are-there-any-spells-to-become-a-fairy-or-mermaid-q24003058if you are going to be one of those people who is going to say mermaids and fairies aren't real then don't answer.Fri, 26 Aug 2011 21:30:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/WHY-IS-HUMANITIES-A-SOCIAL-SCIENCE-q24265497http://www.maybenow.com/WHY-IS-HUMANITIES-A-SOCIAL-SCIENCE-q24265497Wed, 07 Sep 2011 00:43:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/kultura-ng-pangasinense-q24265450http://www.maybenow.com/kultura-ng-pangasinense-q24265450http://www.maybenow.com/Are-press-release-distribution-sites-good-to-use-q24265215http://www.maybenow.com/Are-press-release-distribution-sites-good-to-use-q24265215http://www.maybenow.com/tell-us-the-story-of-shadow-on-solitude-q24265161http://www.maybenow.com/tell-us-the-story-of-shadow-on-solitude-q24265161http://www.maybenow.com/epekto-ng-heograpiya-sa-uri-ng-kanilang-pamumuhay-q23976973http://www.maybenow.com/epekto-ng-heograpiya-sa-uri-ng-kanilang-pamumuhay-q23976973paki sagot naman po ito Pls...Thu, 11 Aug 2011 06:37:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/Any-good-plots-for-an-Alien-story-q24029984http://www.maybenow.com/Any-good-plots-for-an-Alien-story-q24029984I love to write weird stories about the impossible (such as ghost mysteries, werewolves, vamps, etc.) but I've had this urge to write about aliens, but I'm not exactly sure what the plot should be. I was wondering if like maybe the main character would have to go into space with the aliens, cause they're going to blow up the world or something, but I'm not sure if that sounds too normal (like for something an alien would do.) It would most likely be set in Iowa or Kansas. Also, I would most likely write this story from the main characters point of veiw, and they'd probably be about 14 or 15, but here are some ideas for main characters (both boy and girl): Odette Lantoni: female,tree hugger (loves the enviornment & animals), olive green eyes, straight black hair (shoulder length), darkly tanned skin (maybe italian?), has an athletic figure, determined when she sets her mind to something, loves volleyball, and has a pet Cavalier King Charles Spaniel (name?) Adair Blake: female, stick-straight blonde hair (usually up in a ponytail or pigtails),perrywinkle eyes, freckle-faced, is a vegetarian, father died in the war, won't pass up an oppourtunity to go shopping, and is extremely open-minded to new ideas and opinions. Ambrose Taylor: male, brown eyes, very darkly tanned skin (thinking mexican maybe?), is a "sportsatic" mainly soccer, has a crush on one of the aliens he meets (sounds weird but the whole book will be different so bare with me), has never seen his mother, and has a pet turtle (name?) Keenan Lewis: male, easily irritated, medium skin color, father is American, mother is Japanese, hazel-eyed, extremely artistic, girlfriend died of Leukemia two years earlier (so that may lead him to fall in love with an alien as well) Okay, that's about all I've got. If you don't care for one of the character's names, but like their personality, you can give me some other names that you'd prefer. Another thing, if you think two characters could be in the story together, that's cool. REMEMBER: whoever eventually is chosen, I'll still need a plot (like the world blowing up like I said earlier) Thanks!Fri, 19 Aug 2011 20:31:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/ibat-ibang-uri-ng-hugis-q24089187http://www.maybenow.com/ibat-ibang-uri-ng-hugis-q24089187v9YikMon, 08 Aug 2011 07:51:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/Kultura-ng-Phoenician-q23976975http://www.maybenow.com/Kultura-ng-Phoenician-q23976975Ano-anu po ba ang kultura ng Phoenician?Thu, 04 Aug 2011 04:37:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/Mga-pamana-ng-Phoenician-sa-kabihasnan-q23976976http://www.maybenow.com/Mga-pamana-ng-Phoenician-sa-kabihasnan-q23976976Anu-ano po ba ang mga pamana ng Phoenician sa kabihasnan?Sun, 31 Jul 2011 08:58:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/laki-at-lawak-ng-teritoryo-ng-pilipinas-q24086246http://www.maybenow.com/laki-at-lawak-ng-teritoryo-ng-pilipinas-q24086246Sat, 06 Aug 2011 03:02:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/i-found-a-painting-by-c-sheridan-knowles-does-the-c-mean-its-not-authentic-q24264916http://www.maybenow.com/i-found-a-painting-by-c-sheridan-knowles-does-the-c-mean-its-not-authentic-q24264916http://www.maybenow.com/likas-na-yaman-ng-hilagang-asya-q23975020http://www.maybenow.com/likas-na-yaman-ng-hilagang-asya-q23975020Wed, 27 Jul 2011 07:43:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/www-mu-ac-in-idol-result-f-y-b-a-2010-seat-0178-q24093859http://www.maybenow.com/www-mu-ac-in-idol-result-f-y-b-a-2010-seat-0178-q24093859Tue, 19 Jul 2011 14:34:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/writing-a-book-q24264190http://www.maybenow.com/writing-a-book-q24264190I am writing a story but i'm stuck!

I really want to be 100% ready for it so she doesn't doubt making that decision, it has been my ultimate goal to go on pointe! So i was just wondering what excercises/Things can i do to make sure i get there!

I am not looking to become perfessional, however, it is important to me that I have a good studio with teachers that will keep me informed of my progress in class... along the lines of corrections. Also I am having a hard time talking to my instructor about my progress because I am unsure of when I should talk with her, after class or before?    Thanks, Andrea.   Wed, 20 Apr 2011 08:02:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/Distressed.-help-q2684904http://www.maybenow.com/Distressed.-help-q2684904Hello, my name is Dustin, Im an eighteen year old male. I started taking a ballet class 3 years ago, just for fun. Then last year I decided that I really enjoyed dance, and that I would love to perform as a career. The thing is that I am also passionate for most other Theatre type callings, Acting, song, musical theatre... that type of thing. I really love it all, and I love so much to dance. I had everything figuress out in my mind... I could go get good solide classical training now, while I am still young, taht I will be able to carry over into whatever performing career I may choose at some point. Im straight out of highschool, and now I am studying at a professional school. The thing is though, taht I have Sooo much I need to learn which is fine, im more then willing... but I find myself really strugling, strugling just to get the exercises let alone do them well. Ive been going at it for about 2 months now, and I've really noticed that I have no desire to go to class, Its lost all it's flair. I'm not sure if it's the drilling technique or my confusion but im really not enjoying myself. It's strange because, I used to love staying at the studio training late into the night... but now I just cant wait for class to be over.  What's wrong? I know I have to decide whats right for me, but I hate to think that maybe I am not supposed to be training like this. I really want to be a strong classical dancer, but I don't know if the problem is with the ballet, or if it's all in my head. To make things worse, I'm starting to worry that if I decide that Ballet is not for me, that this very negativity will carry over into other domains that I want to train for such as Theatre.... I just don't know... I'm just looking for some insight... thanks Dustin Wed, 20 Apr 2011 08:00:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/to-be-a-ballerina-q2684925http://www.maybenow.com/to-be-a-ballerina-q2684925hi,thank you very much for your advice.i stopped eating so much fast/junk food and i did lose some weight.can you tell me how to improve my arch and turn out?and techniques for my posse pirrouettes.thank you soo much.:) ------------------------- Followup To Question - dear theodora, im fifteen this year,i dont really take ballet extremely seriously,but after i saw a polina semionova's video clip,she inspired me to work harder.tell me how can i get fit and somewhat become thinner like polina,and how do i improve my arch,i do admit though i am not born for ballet,but i take modern dance and tap classes,but now i really want to give my best at being a ballerina.please help. Answer - Get into as many ballet classes per week as possible with a serious teacher who teaches technique, even if you have to change studios to do it.  How you progress depends entirely on how hard you work and how much time you are willing to devote to practicing outside of classes. It's counterproductive to try and compare yourself to anyone else, although very fine to have a goal.  Although the Russian schools only train people with a certain body type, there are fine dancers of all different heights and proportions.  Were you to see Ms Semionova in person, you would be surprised at how different she looks from the video, she is extremely muscular rather than skeletally thin. Any athlete needs to take care of their instrument--their body.  Stop eating junk food, drink water (lots of it) not sodas, eat protein at every meal, lots of vegetables and fruit.  DO NOT SKIP MEALS. Work hard in classes.  If you tell me your town I might be able to recommend a good teacher.

I stopped intense training at the age of 19 as my legs were very bowed (about a 15cm gap between the legs standing feet together in parallel). However I had very good technique, expression and a well proportioned, slender body. The only thing wrong was the bowed legs, and all my teachers said it would be no good trying to get into a professional school/company as straight legs are essential for a dancer. I accepted this and still do, but was wondering whether you, as a professional yourself, know of any successful ballerinas with bowed legs? Or if it is such a great 'disability' in the ballet world? I'm just curious to know what a professional viewpoint would be. Thank you very much for your time, I look forward to reading your reply.

I feel like i eat not very much and i still don't lose weight. itt's very depressing. SHould i even continue ballet at this weight?

He is and keeps in good physical condition and is in the studio 25 to 30 hours a week.  Although he loves dance he had decided to go to college and study architecture.  About a month ago he announced that he would like to pursue a possible career in dance, specifically ballet.  He realizes that he needs some more development.  His partnering skills a great and he needs to work on his solo work and stage presence.  His teachers agree with that assessment.  As a parent I would like him to get a BFA while he is training.  What is your reaction to that?  If we were to look for a top collegiate program, aside from visiting there and taking a class, how can we know if it is top notch.  His dance work ethic has always been great.  He really wants quality instruction and is willing to work hard at improving.  He always has had a good attitude regardless of the circumstance and we want to be supportive. Can you help with some direction toward quality college programs or do you think he should try for an apprenticeship somewhere?   Tue, 19 Apr 2011 07:59:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/plss-answer-q23973119http://www.maybenow.com/plss-answer-q23973119wi need to answer this question......Ano ang kahalagahan ng paghati sa mga rehiyon.....Fri, 22 Apr 2011 01:14:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/Help-with-turns-q2684877http://www.maybenow.com/Help-with-turns-q2684877I'm 14 years old and I've been dancing for about 10 years and I've been doing ballet exams for 7 years.

Tue, 19 Apr 2011 08:01:00 GMThttp://www.maybenow.com/Playing-q2685055http://www.maybenow.com/Playing-q2685055My mom says this is a "theoretical" question.   I am 13 years old.  Four years ago, a piano teacher told my mom that if I started piano lessons then, in three months I would be at about the same level as the kids who started when they were six.   She was absolutely right.  Because I started when I was older, more mature, and more "ready," I took off and progressed so rapidly that now I am one of her most advanced students.  Also, because it was something I wanted to do, there was never a day when my mom had to remind me to practice. All things being equal, is the same thing true about going on pointe?  I've had five years of solid ballet training ..... took one year off .... then went back and started pointe last fall.  Although I was training six hours a week, we only spent the last few minutes of each class on pointe. Now I fear I'm a year behind the other girls my age who've been training straight through, even though I spent five weeks in a summer intensive. I'm strong and focused, though not too flexible.  I learn the combinations very quickly.  I play two instruments and have very good musicality.  I have a burning desire to do more dancing on pointe!   How long will it take before I can do what my more experienced peers can do?  Will I ever "catch up?"

The dance director put me in ballet 3 because she didn't want me to be with the little kids in ballet 1&2, and I had no dance experience. Well, after 2 months, I started to like ballet.(im taking ballet to help improve my spins in figure skating) Now, for the past month, I've been going on the computer looking for stuff about pointe. Pointe seems really interesting and I want to start. But is it too early? I think im kind of ready because I could stand on the tips of my toes with ballet slippers on, and I have strong ankles because im a figure skater. For christmas, I want my own pair of pointe shoes so I can do pointe at home. What should I do?

My teacher suggested not using any toe pads, but I am a little apprehensive. I was wondering what you think about this, if I should continue with toe pads, or use none. Another option would be to tape my toes. What is your advice?

When I was a little girl, I took ballet for a very short time (I was too shy), so my mother took me out of class. Ever since I got to my late teens (I am nineteen now), I've regretted not persuing ballet. A friend of mine and I are going to start taking classes, and as long as I improve, I want to keep taking classes. My question is: is it a silly idea to try to make it into a career? Or even just as a beginning to start a career in any sort of dance? I've been wanting to take any type of dance classes for a long time, and figured ballet was the only form of dance I'm tailor-made for because I'm 4'11". Thank you!

Thanks so much for taking time to answer. I really appreciate it. I also wanted to know what you think about practicing at home with a technique video? Is there any you can recommend? and have you heard of : "Ballet Class: For Beginners" Starring: Allison Potter and David Howard ? Also i wanted to ask about Pre Professional Ballet Schools. Are they suitable for Beginners and especially beginners at the age 18+? Thanks soo much Once again ------------------------------------------- The text above is a follow-up to ... -----Question----- Hi I'm 19 years old and i just started taking ballet classes. I saw a ballet performance and that sparked something inside me and i have totally fallen in love with ballet. I am willing to dance hours and hours a day every day of the week. I was wondering if it is infarct too late for me to start ballet. and how realistic is it to want a career in dancing? and also what classes would you recommend i take a week and how many and how soon do you think it would take to get to a level where i could maybe even enroll in a ballet school? Also, i wanted to know how soon can one start Pointe classes? Thanks soo much! -----Answer----- Get into as many ballet classes per week as possible with a serious teacher who teaches technique.  It is impossible to say how fast any one person will progress as there are so many variables.  You will have to devote time every day to practice at home. See all the performances you can, live hopefully, but videos too, and read as much as you can. Take jazz or modern classes also--again, a good teacher is imperative.  You will have to work very hard.  Actually, success in the dance world is mostly hard work and focused intent.  You will know more about your timeline after you are in classes for awhile.  Follow your bliss.  Remember: find a good teacher!!

Well actually she is training at the Instituto Nacional De Bellas Artes here in  Mexico, she is in a program where bachellors degree is involved when you are finished. How is ballet trained in the states and how many days a week on average? Do you think it is to much? She is not on pointe or anything like that, she just takes conditioning for ballet for like 2 hours is still that too much?She use to train rhythmic gymnastics and it was like 3 hours a day of intense stretching and running. I really appreciate your help and I will try to keep in touch. My name is Betty and I'll keep your comment in mind. It takes somebody to tell you how to keep your head straight in these matters a sort of pen pal.I'll send you pictures of presentations.
