Technical writing comes in many forms, dance being one of them. There, good technical writing \u2013 instruction in ballet moves, for example \u2013 can be life-changing. Beth Bluett de Baudistel, a long-time Australian ballerina and dance teacher, reminisces about her international career in the Sunshine Coast Daily<\/a> in Queensland.<\/p>\n

\"imgres-1\"<\/a>As an 18-year-old ballet soloist, Beth would would write evenings in her diary, half a world away from her family, “all the amazing technical concepts I had been learning. Little did I know that this would be the foundation of writing a dance curriculum like no other.<\/p>\n

“Exercises based on how a student could sense the centrelink of the body from quite a young age – it had never been documented.”<\/p>\n

Her dance curriculum was rated a success “because it is giving the world of dance a way to train with excellence without the propensity to injury that other methods have.<\/p>\n

“Innovative ideas come in seed form, and seeds have to be nurtured to grow,” Beth says.<\/p>\n

“I like the phrase ‘do not discount small beginnings’.<\/p>\n

“If you feel it is worthwhile, keep at it.”<\/p>\n
