Ballet Class Day

 

Fridays are my ballet class day. I had my first class a week ago and it took me several days to recover from that - my whole body was sore for several days. I just had my second class today and again, my other classmates did not show up so I had private lessons with Madame. Madame teaches the Russian method. With no one else in the big studio, I really have no where to hide :) It is intense, but very good.

 

 

 

 

Here is a peek at the change room of the ballet studio I go to. Worn out pointe shoe hanging from a vintage locker. Only the advanced students get lockers, so no locker for me.

 

 

 

 

 

I had to peek inside one of the lockers.

 

 

 

 

 

Love it!

Never Too Old

In a couple of days I will be attending my first ballet class in the studio where my two daughters have been taking ballet for the last several years.

 

I took ballet for a couple of years when I was young, but it is now about 35 years later and at the age of 47, I will be restarting ballet again. For many years I thought it was too late, but I've changed my mind :)  I will tell you how it goes...
