In ballerina class the other day, Smirnoff trying to teach us to express a sense of amplitude.
He says, “you’re offering bread to your guests.”
We offer bread.
He is dissatisfied.
He calls to Best Girl, “demonstrate please. Ok, and again, please, and this time offer the bread to your friend.” (her bf, who happens to be sitting right beside Smirnoff, observing the class)
Big big, grinning, blushing difference.
Class spontaneously applauds the cuteness.

She looks bigger- is she bigger? Is it my eyes? I love the drawing.
My ex ballet teacher told us to offer ourselves. And a girl in the class was slutty when around him… She asked how exactly to “offer oneself” and he let slip “you shouldn’t really have a…. nevermind.” I assume he swallowed [a problem with that]. You’re funny; I like your blog
Ha! Wonder if that’s where the bread thing came from?
“offer your…er…um….bread! Offer bread! Yeah, that’s it! (phew!)”
Haha! Love it. I will totally think of this in class now. Offer that bread! Graciously!
Right! Offer that bread with feeling!
Oooooh good example! And I love your drawing, such a good example of epaume (I hope I spelled that right)
