My feminine side…
26 April 2012 | By tri-cities in Uncategorized | 1 Comment

I was once told I had to find my “feminine” side… not that I don’t know how to rock a skirt… and I truly love a beautiful pair of shoes. I can bake, I can wear pretty panties and I can ask for help (all things I think of as “feminine”  )

This was a few years ago, and I now have a better understanding of what this person meant (which I may share with you on a different blog!) and I have tried to allow myself to journey through this world of “the feminine” where we patiently absorb beauty and peace.

I am not really a dancer (although I have shaken my booty on a few table tops in my time), nor am I capable of “maintaining my core” for more than 15 minutes, but I do value the beauty of a dancer.. of the stance and the strength, the length of the muscles, the power in the leaps.

As I continue to embrace my feminine side, and all the beauty, gentleness, patience and compassion that come with it… I am going to give you the chance to experience it as well!
I have a family 4 pack of tickets to the Coastal City full length ballet performance of Hansel & Gretel at the Maple Ridge Act on May 4th available to one lucky winner!

Want to win… tell me about your feminine side! Or if that “weirds” you out… tell me who the Artistic Director of Coastal City Ballet is!  Comment below!

Winner will be chosen Tuesday May 1st!

The production is commissioned and performed by Coastal City Ballet- a pre-professional dance company that launched in the Fall of 2011 as a bridge for aspiring dancers making the leap between pre-professional and professional life.
To create the work, the young dancers of the company will be working with choreographer Irene Schneider, former Artistic Director of Germany’s Magdeburg Ballet. In collaboration with Coastal City Ballet’s talented team of set and costumer designers, Schneider has created a beautiful vision of the ballet that could have sprung straight from the pages of a storybook. This vision will be brought to life by the Coastal City Ballet company dancers, as well as local dance students from throughout the Lower Mainland who auditioned for the opportunity to dance alongside aspiring dance artists.

Following a rigorous audition process, Maple Ridge dancer Jennifer Francisty was accepted into the company in early fall. Dancing has been a lifelong dream for Jennifer and being accepted alongside 14 other dancers from around the globe allows her to get one step closer to her dream of performing on the professional stage. Jennifer is available for interviews to share her story, her role models in the dance world, and insights on her life and intense training regime, rehearsing with sought after ballet masters from major dance companies.

    Being feminine to me is not about what you look like or what you wear but how you speak and act. It is a softness in word and action. A certain delicacy if you will that any woman is capable of regardless of what they look like or how they dress. You don’t have to be feminie all the time, that’s just flighty, it’s knowing when to be that counts!
