Hey There! Kif ahna? Introduction ... to Brenda Lee Grech
Aaaaaa…. I’m so excited to present myself to you and I’m getting a bit lost, cause I don’t know where to start from. …. And I also want to make my intro ‘’brief’’ as I tend to say a lot…. It’s amazing how I always find something to chat about.
Well, this is Brenda Lee…..Welcome to my diary!
19 years ago, I was born to a very beloved couple, in one of the tiniest islands in the world – Malta! Tiny yet Independent. Dad& Mum are two very talented people, dad creates the most amazing furniture and mum is an extraordinary dress maker, however when it comes to dancing, they are not quite ….. lets say… into it. They do though love music and dance, however in Malta unfortunately there is not so much to follow as regards to art when compared to other countries; ballet for example, has been in Malta for 45 to 50 years(something like that) so it is still 'new' to us when considering the early days in which ballet evolved. I was named after the American singer Brenda Lee, but I turned out to be a dancer instead, although I do Enjoy singing… O I Love it and I’m so glad that this year I have the opportunity to actually learn how to sing properly.
One other interesting thing which you might want to know about me is that, when I was born, the doctor told my parents that I was never going to walk. It was quite a shock for my parents and they were uncertain for six months, which is when the doctors were then able to take X-rays of my feet, and realized that everything was ok….. and that the doctor was actually mistaken……. Now I don’t just walk on my feet but I dance on the very edge! Great isn’t it!
After having been to Italy and then to France, I am now in London to pursue my studies at the Central School of Ballet. Life is hectic here but I love it. We have already started working on quite a few choreographies which Ballet Central will be touring with. I am really enjoying it as the work includes a bit of everything, form classical repertoire to contemporary and jazz! I am that kind of person who likes everything; I love all forms of dance, and like exploring new ways of moving and challenging myself to different styles.
End of part one …..More news next time…
Ps: A big Happy birthday goes to Marley Lagana', Alison Grech, Marilyn and Marianne Schembri who will be getting older this month! ;)
