My Reasoning

The reason that I created this blog about ballet was because ballet is something that I am interested in. I am a ballet dancer, as well as a ballet teacher. I teach ages 4-15 and I absolutely love it, but I realized that I didn't know much about the history of ballet. So that brought us to now, me making a blog for history class about ballet. I have learned a lot throughout making this blog, including that ballet began during the Renaissance and Louis XIV was one of the founders. I also discovered how pointe shoes are crafted. Pointe shoes intrigue me a lot because I just got my first pair about 6 months ago and I'm still going through a stage where I'm obsessed with them. So, learning more about their design was interesting. In making this blog I not only learned more about what I do, but also what I do it with, and it was a blast learning and sharing that information through this blog.
