Okay, when I announced earlier via twitter that I would begin corset training soon know it probably freaked out a lot of people [my family included] because of the natural imagery that comes along with corset training. For the record I am not beginning corset training to physically alter my body in any shape or form; for me it is more so becoming more comfortable in wearing a regular corset and especially when performing burlesque numbers. I want to be able to dance properly and safely while wearing a "normal" corset. Now, being a ballet dancer I am used to wearing a corset however it is not the same thing as wearing the typical corset in burlesque dancing. Also in ballet the choreography is more asymmetrical as far movement is concern; while with my burlesque numbers the choreography is quite not only grueling but physically demanding.
People often wonder if I am trying to do or prove too much with my performances but this is just me and who I am as a performer and definitely want to be the best at it. One of the things I hope to accomplish is to become a better dancer with corsets and performer overall. So, I am nervous yet excited at the same time about corset training plus it will give me an opportunity to see how my body moves in different corsets and this also helps me when I choreograph routines as to how much or little movement to make. Also I think corsets are great for costuming and the appearance on stage..now ladies remember before attempting any corset training make certain it is done safely as there are medical ramifications from this [and I know personally from nursing] but it is a challenge for myself and to test myself as a performer/dancer.
Like I mentioned I am not doing full hardcore corset training but enough so that my body adjusts to wearing and performing in them more often. During the fall/winter season hoping to bring some amazing new routines for everyone to enjoy and especially working on my Doll Series set to begin the holiday season.
wish me luck!!
much love,
Natalie
