Guest Post: Chitra Soundar with Yasmine Naghdi<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Authors of the Ballet Besties Series<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

The Pursuit of Passion<\/span><\/h2>\n

When we are young, we have many hobbies. I collected stamps, wrote poems, and performed in amateur theatre in a drama club my Mum organised during summer breaks. While I wrote and performed all through school life, I never thought I\u2019d take it up as a career one day. So I focussed on school and academics while writing for my own pleasure during my free time.<\/p>\n

This is the same for the five friends in Ballet Besties<\/a>. While Yara wants to become a professional ballerina, she too has to focus on her school. She\u2019s in a regular school with a focus on academics. Her parents had signed her up for ballet classes at Shimmer and Shine and they even put on a show \u2013 but Yara learns that it couldn\u2019t come at the cost of her school lessons.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pursuing Ballet as a Profession<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>Yasmine Naghdi, the co-author of Yara\u2019s Chance to Dance<\/a>, \u00a0went to a regular school. After school, she attended a nearby dance studio to learn ballet. On Saturdays, she took lessons in gymnastics and learned to play the piano. Until Yasmine was offered a place to attend The Royal Ballet School when she was 12, she had never thought of becoming a professional ballet dancer. There her normal academic lessons were mixed with intense ballet lessons every day<\/strong> of the week, even on a Saturday morning and it wasn\u2019t until the age of 14 that she decided she wanted to become a professional ballet dancer.<\/p>\n

In our new book Yara’s Chance to Dance<\/a>, Yara gets distracted with ballet practising for her lead in Sleeping Beauty. When she forgets to complete her homework or concentrate on her classwork, Miss Diamond and her mum explain that schoolwork is equally important to pursue a career in ballet.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reflecting Real-life Experience<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

This reflects Yasmine\u2019s real-life experience too \u2013 to be a professional ballet dancer you need multi-faceted skills and self-discipline<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

From managing your finances to juggling your daily and weekly work schedule, to understanding work contracts for performing abroad, and knowing how to work as a team especially when dancing in the Corps de Ballet, and so much more. The skills we learn at school come in handy throughout our lives.<\/p>\n

Combining Passion and Studies<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

In our series Ballet Besties<\/a> \u2013 and in the first book Yara\u2019s Chance to Dance<\/a> \u2013 we explore this theme through Yara\u2019s experiences. Her passion for ballet at first distracts her from school work especially because she gets the lead part in a performance that had so much at stake. But with the help of her friends and timely advice from her teachers and her parents, Yara realises that it\u2019s important to balance both without giving up one or the other<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Ballet as a Hobby<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

We also illustrate this through the experiences of Indu and Dante, too. Indu is not learning ballet because she wants to be a professional dancer. Her hobby might always remain a hobby, but that\u2019s ok too. Dante on the other hand has two passions – football and ballet – while also focussing on his studies and he does make it seem easy to balance them.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s all celebrate our passions<\/strong> while pursuing our jobs in a way that makes us happy!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n
