Have anyone heard of the theory that Female Dancer is Geisha's daughter?

Mata Hari, who Margaretha is based on, is half-Asian. As Margaretha has black eyes and hair, it isn't a stretch to say that she might be half-Japanese. She also shares many similarities to Michiko, with them both being dancers, and both noted to be extremely beautiful.

Margaretha's uncle and aunt knew Michiko's father in law based on the birthday letters. In one of them, Michiko's father in law asks the couple to keep something. It is possible that Mr. Donnelly entrusted Margaretha to them after Michiko's death.

How come it’s a big deal that there are all female/male dancers for artists (not trying to be rude)?

I’m asking this as a genuine question because I don’t really know how it became a big thing. But, I see comments sometimes under mostly soloists’ performances who have all female or male backup dancers for their stages.

I’m not trying to be rude or anything, it’s just out of curiosity because there’s always praise (not that it’s a bad thing ofc) for male soloists having all female dancers and female soloists having all male dancers. This is coming from a western perspective so maybe it’s something that’s not so common in the Korean music industry compared to the states, where it’s more common. Thanks!

(Let me know if this is the wrong flair!)

First time lifting up female dancers; what to expect and prepare

I am super excited as I am going to lift up a few female dancers in the class next week! I am an adult beginner and have been learning ballet for more than a year now and I am so happy but nervous. I have never done this before and I haven't prepared for this yet. As far as I am concerned it is not going to be super difficult but I am still wondering what to expect and prepare. Most importantly I don't want to injure my partners and since there are fewer guys I probably have to do a lot of lifting.

EDIT: After the class.

There are 20ish female dancers and only two guys! The class was filled with streams and I notice that female dancers are really more scared than we are. Of course, everything is a mess and no one got hurt, except the fact that I probably need to eat a lot of pizza to compensate. Apart from that, it is soooooo much fun.

There are several very interesting pieces of advice that I think has helped a lot.

  1. A new Leotard. Yes, the ladies are super grateful.
  2. Asking where she will be comfortable to be held. There is occasionally body contact (which happens when there is chaos), but because we have stated that in advance, no one was angry.
  3. The belly button in. It saves my back.
  4. By coordinating plies, it is shockingly easy to lift them high. However, it is really difficult to put them down elegantly. It doesn't help the lady can start to panic. I think more practice is needed.

In short, you guys are AWESOME!

Is the female dancer in this MV Rihey or is it just someone who looks like her?

I was obsessed with this song when it first came out and I'm just suddenly reminded of it, decided to watch the MV again and noticed that the female dancer who was highlighted a lot throughout the video was Rihey (or someone who looks like her).

So this is the video, it is an SM Station song called Notorious by TRAX X DJ Lip 2 Shot (feat. Sophiya)

I will delete this post if it's not Rihey.

[TOMT][MOVIE] Can't think of film set in 1930s Germany... I think the main character is a female actor or dancer?

Just a heads up, I never watched the movie and only saw the trailer, so my knowledge might be a bit spotty.

I think the premise is something like this woman is building her career in the entertainment industry in Germany during the rise of the Nazis, and knows/dates a few men... who start out as decent guys but buy into the Nazi propaganda, which I imagine causes some major problems as the movie progresses.

The main female lead seems eccentric and out-there. That's really all I got.
