what is tilting, you ask

TILT (v.) 1.) To extend the leg to the side at no less than 180° resulting in the torso becoming parallel to the floor.

Here I am tilting at Jacquie's wedding this past weekend. Yes, I am tilting in my bridesmaid's dress.

So for us "Institute" Gals, tilting has become more of a way of proclaiming our excitement. In addition to performing said TILT, we also say TILT in a high, often annoying tone. What's even more fun is to get other non-dancers to TILT, like your mom, little brother, or G-rents.

Examples:

"I'm getting a new phone" TILT
"New Ballet Faculty" TILT
"I have another private lesson" TILT
"We get to wear the red bows!" TILT
"Let's go to the pool" TILT
"Hannah Montana stickers" TILT

You get the idea.

I started the blog for friends and family to keep up with my travels to Singapore and Malaysia over the next two weeks. I'm going to try to update every few days, but don't get angry if it's longer between posts; I will be jetlagged and sweltering. I'll be updating everyone on the sights and sounds of Borneo as well as uploading pictures (yay!). Where does the tilting come in? Well, I will be attempting to TILT while holding onto various objects throughout the trip including but not limited to airport conveyor belts, taxicabs, street signs, 95 year-old grandma, and international landmarks.

The name for the blog came from my friend Nicole, which I then altered to "Tilting All Over the World" much like "Pimping All Over the World." Thank you, Ludacris.
