Idag ar det tre ar sedan jag vaknade upp i New York efter en sommar pa svensk mark. Jag kom till NY den 28 December 2010 och planerade att va har i 6 manader. Jag stod pa svensk mark den 6 juli och visste inte vad som skulle handa. Planerna blev snart att jag skulle flytta till Osterrike, start over and see what happens. Men, nagot sa mig att jag inte var klar med New York, sa i sista stund beslutade jag mig for att aka tillbaka hit och plotsligt hade jag bade papper och flygbiljett klart. Allt gick valdigt fort, men jag angrar mig inte for en sekund.

Today it’s three years since I woke up in New York after a summer on Swedish ground. I came to NY on December 28, 2010 and was planning to stay for 6 months. I stood on Swedish ground July 6 and didn’t know what would happen. New plans was soon that I would move to Austria, start over and see what happens. But, something told me that I was not done with New York, so in the last minute I decided to go back here and suddenly I had both papers and a ticket ready. Everything went so fast, but I don’t regret it for a second.

Always a dancer

Fanny Sura23 July, 201423 July, 2014Leave a comment

Nar lillen blir lite aldre ska jag ga och ta dansklasser. Nu saknar jag det verkligen! Det har varit bra for mig att inte dansa sa mycket det senaste aret, for jag har insett hur mycket jag alskar det och hur mycket jag saknar det. Det ar viktigt att stanna upp ibland och tanka efter. Dans ar nagot man jobbar med varje dag och hela tiden (det ar en livsstil) och det ar tyvarr inte alltid roligt, det ar tufft ibland. Jag trodde aldrig jag kunde trottna, men efter 1000 trakiga klasser pa DNA innan jag slutade dar blev jag faktiskt trott pa det.
Men nu, balett, modernt, yoga, pilates, jazz…oh, jag vill ta allt! Det brinner i musklerna pa mig. Och jag vill skapa!

When the little one gets older I will go and take dance classes. Now I really miss it! It has been good for me not to dance that much this year, cause I have realized ho much I love it and how much I miss it. It is important so pause sometimes and think. Dance is something you work with every day and all the time (it’s a lifestyle) and unfortunately it’s not always fun, it’s hard sometimes. I thought I would never get tired of it, but after 1000 boring classes at DNA before I quit, I actually got tired of it.
But now, ballet, modern, yoga, pilates, jazz…oh, I want to take it all! It’s burning in my muscles. And I want to create!

3LD

Efter en lang promenad pa Lower Manhattan tidigare idag gick vi forbi ett stalle som jag gar forbi nastan varje dag, ett stalle som alltid ser sa intressant ut. Killen utanfor bjod in oss for att se en installation och berattade att det var en del av en dansforestallning i samarbete med Joyce.
Ikvall gick vi forst till Wolfgangs och at det vanliga, ostron bacon och sparris, mums. Sen vidare ner till dar vi hade vart weddingparty i oktober forra aret. Saklart gick vi sen vidare ner mot varat omrade och forsokte fa biljetter till kvallens forestallning pa 3LD (Jim var faktiskt mer nyfiken an mig, haha). Jag gillade det starkt. Det ar precis det som jag alskar att se pa scen. Da menar jag rorelserna. Sjalva visual effects var coolare under dagen utan dansare. Men mycket bra over all maste jag saga. Kolla garna upp Zoe/Juniper sa far ni ett hum om vad vi sag ikvall.
Nu ar vi supertrotta. Godnatt!!

After a long walk on Lower Manhattan earlier today, we walked by a place I walk by almost every day, a place that always looks so interesting. The guy outside invited us in to see an installation and told us it was a part of a dance performance in collaboration with the Joyce.
Tonight we first went to Wolfgangs and ate the usual, oysters bacon and asparagus, yummy. Then down to the bar where we had our weddingparty in october last year. Of course, later, we walked down to our neighborhood and tried to get tickets for tonights show at 3LD (Jim was actually more curious than me, haha). I really liked it. It’s just what I love to see on stage. And then I mean the movements. The actual visual effects was more cool during the day without dancers. But really good over all, I have to say. Look up Zoe/Juniper and you’ll get an idea of what we saw tonight.
Now we are tired. Good night!!

Ballet history

Fanny Sura8 May, 20148 May, 2014Leave a comment

643 sidor av balett. Jag kunde inte lata bli att kopa den har boken idag. Den var pa rean pa Barnes & Noble for $8! Vilket super pris! Jag gillar danshistoria och den har boken kan forhoppningsvis vara vard dessa sma dollar sedlar (hade kanske inte kopt den annars). Det ar nog ingen bok jag kommer lasa sida till sida, utan kommer nog mer kolla igenom olika delar i den lite da och da.

Ja, idag har jag tankarna mot baletten. Nar jag borjade Danshogskolan fick jag fragan om jag ville byta huvudamne till balett istallet for modernt. Nej, det ville jag inte. Jag alskade att trana balett, men det var inget jag ville satsa pa. Nar jag sen tog klasser pa DNA hittade jag ingen bra larare och har sedan dess inte tagit mycket balett. Nu har jag borjat sakna det och kanske kommer ta mig till en studio nagon dag och “baletta av mig” lite:)

643 pages of ballet. I couldn’t resist to buy this book today. It was on sale at Barnes & Noble for $8! What a nice price! I like dance history and this book can hopefully be worth those small dollars (probably wouldn’t have bought it otherwise). It’s most likely not a book I will read page after page, more like look at some chapters now and then.
Yes, today I have my thoughts towards ballet. When I started the University of Dance, I got the question if I wanted to change my major to ballet instead. Nope, I did not. I loved to train ballet, but it was not something I wanted to go all in on. When I later took classes at DNA I didn’t find a good teacher and I have since then not really been taking much ballet. Now I have started to miss it and maybe I will take myself to a studio some day and “ballet my self off” a little:)

Swan

Det regnar. Nar det ar daligt vader i New York, det da man ska passa pa att ga ut. Det ar ingen ute da och man slipper springa in i tusen turister. Daremot ska man halla sig borta fran Soho och andra shopping omraden, for nar det regnar pa semestern passar man saklart pa att shoppa. Har nere i Battery Park ar det helt tomt. Jag som har skona gummistovlar funderar pa att ga ut och unna mig tid i parken.

Under morgonen har jag bl.a kollat pa Swan Lake pa youtube. Jag har aldrig sett den live och faktiskt inte heller sett hela via video. Den enda balett jag har sett pa scen ar La Bayadere pa Kungliga Operan i Stockholm. Jag hade garna gatt och sett fler baletter. Vore treligt att ga och se en balett har pa Lincoln Center. Undra om jag far med mig Jim:) Visst vore det romantiskt, hahah. Kolla pa gamla karlekshistorier och vackra rorelser, det later inte som en dejt som jag och Jim nagonsin skulle ga pa, men det hade varit trevligt:)

It’s raining. When it’s bad weather in New York, that’s when you should go out. There is noone outside and you don’t have to run into a thousand tourists. Though, you should stay away from Soho and other shopping areas, cause when it’s raining on peoples vacations they of course go for some shopping. Down here in Battery Park it’s completely empty. Me, who has rain boots, is thinking of going outside and enjoy the park.
This morning I have among other things watched Swan Lake on youtube. I have never seen it live and actually not seen the whole thing on video. The only ballet I have seen on stage is La Bayadere at the Royal Opera in Stockholm. I would love so see more ballets. Would be nice to go and see a ballet at Lincoln Center. Wonder if I can get Jim with me:) Would have been romantic, right, hahha. Watch old love stories and beautiful movements, that doesn’t sound like a date me and Jim would ever go on, but it would be nice:)
