This post ended up being a lot of things all rolled into one.
I’ve been having so much fun taking photos in costumes, and I came across my Black Swan costume from Boudoir.
I love it, but just never got around to using it in a routine.
So I decided to go take some photos in it.
While I was taking photos, I began hunting around in inventory for an old ballet sequence I could use in the photo shoot.
Then I decided I would post the sequence.
But I wanted to do a short little video, so that everyone could see what the sequence looked like.
Hubs and I got to talking and he wanted to upgrade our video editor/recorder.
So while he spent hours finding the program he wanted, I got busy taking photos and getting a quickie little dance put together.
I’ll include the details for the outfit at the bottom of the post.
The sequence was originally set to other music, but I think it turned out pretty well for something I threw together in a couple of hours.
Kisses to my sweet husband, who shot the video and edited it for me. ❤

Beautiful! I am a huge fan of ballet in RL. Ballet dancers have such perfect control over their bodies and their movement.
When I first got into doing SL photography I did a whole series of ballet photos. I searched high and low for ballet poses and have so many of them, but they mostly had some ugliness in one angle or another. I didn’t photo edit then whereas now I’d just probably liquify the awkwardness out of them. I remember when Rogan Diesel released his ballet poses and gave away two free outfits from Bare Rose with them.
The ballet dances have improved so much as well. I have a lot of Abranimations but I have not looked at MyAnimations. I hope you’ll share that dance on stage some time.
Ballet dances were one of the first animations I started gathering when I started dancing (that and belly dances!) – I love ballet and I get a thrill each time I do a ballet number. It makes the little ballerina in me sooo happy. 😀
Very pretty Kat. I love the ballet dances in SL, I wish they would do even more. I like to use them to “un-ballet” music too, I’m a fan of the dichotomy of the music and the dances. I miss the spirit ballet shop, I have some beautiful costumes from there. Now I feel the need to break them out and create a new dance for them.
I have a couple of their costumes as well – maybe we can compare and create a duet? 🙂
Oh yes please!! That would be marvelous fun!!
Done! I’ll try to catch you sometime Sat and we can compare costumes. 🙂
