 Reg "Waiting in the wings" by Anita Ratnam - very nicely written article! Looking forward to the rest of the tour diary!
**"Personal trainer, yoga, aerobics, meditation and kalari were my weekly routines along with daily dance rehearsals " -- I wish that a lot of dancers, who call themselves "professional", make note of this - how much hard work is needed (for most people!) to keep the body fit and presentable! I have seen too many classical dancers who are just TOO FAT to be on stage. It is very sad.
**"Touring the US all alone needs a tremendous reservoir of personal strength" -- again, I wish more dancers make note of this. Too many times have I seen dancers desperate to have more programs "abroad", so they can go back home and write about their "successful" tour, even though they did not do their best, focusing more on the number of programs and the money they were able to glean.
