I was close to tears when I saw all dancers on the stage! Because I see the development, well aware of the challenges,  pushing hard, working so many days.

I deeply appreciate all of you who participated in the annual performance and made this happen this year. 

It was a really fruitful and joyful time working with all in 2013 :D

They are totally jaw dropping arabesque as an improvisation even tho' connecting with just a simple pose in a harmonious way. :D I felt their married was mean to be...

Happy belated 2014 Valentine's day ♡ March 14 "White day "2014

2014 February is already over. Sorry for this  belated post :-)
 March 14, 204, today is "white day".
Universally Valantine's day is only Feb14. 

There is  a month for the duration of Valentine's cerebration. Feb14, it is only the women giving presents as confession her love to the men- mainly chocolate to men, but not the other way around. or sometime obligatory gift chocolate for teachers or companies boss.. etc. 

Men are supposed to return the favours received on Valentine's Day one month later on White Day March 14  as the accepting her who gave the sweets something to him love : -)  Usually Men gave white chocolate or marshmallow, mainly something related "white" or etc...to the women accepted her love. if the women who gave the chocolate to the guy did not receive anything, the sign says the love was not come true and move on. 

It is very unique 1 month duration's event made up around 1960 for the chocolate companies tried to rise sales of the chocolates adapted western culture there.Now days this unique event  has spreaded out to many asian countries such like Korea, Taiwan and China.

Yes,We had a great Valentine's day class in this year.again It was a really great class as usual. 
Thank you for all to make this happen again.

I would like to respond  with my LOVE to all Monique'ballet SF  members, supporters and friends.
it is my White day responding to you :D 
                                                  Love from hart deeply　♥
