I just started two months ...I am adult re-beginner. I just started two months ago and I love it! The moves have come back to me even though I was rusty in the beginning. My motive to dance again is for fitness, but also I have re-taken up figure skating (after skating as a teen) so ballet is excellent off ice training. My coach has noticed the improvement in my arm carriage, posture and extension. I don't know if pointe will be in my future but who knows when I'm tired of skating I can focus on that goal :)Right now I am enjoying the physical and mental benefits either way.NIUiceprincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13736625422301374582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-666293317634014097.post-67833764677651296322009-04-11T11:33:00.000-07:002009-04-11T11:33:00.000-07:00Hi,I thought your post was really inspiring.What s...Hi,<BR/><BR/>I thought your post was really inspiring.<BR/><BR/>What sometimes lets people down is the lack of availability of adult dance classes - or that they are fully subscribed !<BR/><BR/>I would particularly like to learn all the different movements, because although I recognise some of them on stage, I can't imagine what they feel like to do, and I think that would enhance my experience of being in the audience.<BR/><BR/>So I think that is another benefit of attending a ballet class - when you see the experts making it look like no effort at all - you can appreciate the 10, 15 years of hard, repetative work that has gone into making it look easy. Everyone says that the hardest part is making the effort look effortless and dance classes go some way to understanding how that feels.BALLET NEWShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092798152281062087noreply@blogger.com
