Hi!
I stumbled across your blog while searching for info on Grishko pointe shoes. It pointed me to a post of yours from 2009, with a picture of your dog! But really cool blog, btw.
I’m from Bloemfontein, and bought my third pair of Grishkos in Johannesburg about a week ago (no pointe shoes available in Bloemfontein) and I was browsing around the internet for some reviews of the 2007s – so that’s how I found your site. I’m (obviously) also a dancer, but by no means professional – I’m in my early 30s and just doing it for the fun and exercise. Started when I was 5 and just can’t seem to stop!
I’ll certainly add your blog to my Google Reader, if that’s OK with you!
Keep well.
Thanks. That’s so lovely to know and I’m glad you enjoy it. Yes, my dog’s name is Grishko (named after my 2007′s). Do you only do ballet or other types too? I love that you are still dancing and have to admit that I love the adult classes I give. :)
