While others were taking their afternoon nap, we got to practice in the hall (which of course was tiring and difficult, but at least we didn\u2019t have to sleep). That feeling of being on stage and performing\u2014it&#8217;s hard to put into words, but it&#8217;s the kind of feeling you can easily become addicted to.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Did I ever want to become a ballerina? No, I never had that dream, but a year before entering university, I found myself at the Fine 5 Dance School while looking for dance classes\u2014and I had a revelation: this kind of movement created the right harmony in my body and mind. It was during the rise of modern dance in Estonia.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Today, I am a freelance dancer, choreographer, and dance teacher. Beyond form and beauty, I\u2019m most interested in the process\u2014collaboration, exploration, and discovery\u2014being present in the moment. As a teacher, my role is to be a guide, but also a learner. Everything I know about teaching dance, I\u2019ve learned from my students over the past 15 years. I&#8217;m especially interested in the child\u2019s own movement language\u2014when I\u2019ve given them a few tools, a creator emerges from within, and original choreography is born. Development is limitless\u2014every movement, every dance can be refined endlessly. There is always room to grow.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And of course, I still enjoy that feeling that comes from being on stage, when a process has reached maturity. Those 15\u201320 minutes before the audience enters are vivid, intense, exciting, emotional. And then there\u2019s silence and light&#8230; and it doesn\u2019t matter whether I\u2019m on stage or my students are\u2014we breathe in the same rhythm, in this moment, here and now.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The training \u201cPlayful Creative Ballet for Children\u201d takes place on\u00a0March  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":714,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-912","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-studio"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tasapisi.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tasapisi.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tasapisi.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tasapisi.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tasapisi.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=912"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/tasapisi.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/912\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":915,"href":"https:\/\/tasapisi.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/912\/revisions\/915"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tasapisi.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tasapisi.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=912"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tasapisi.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=912"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tasapisi.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
