Ballet Lesson 1

Hello.

I am not going to lie. My body aches like hell. I had to foam roll my legs and all that... My father asks why I want to do "such things".. By this, I am pretty sure he is referring to me learning ballet as an adult. Well, because, I want to see if I can. I have always found it so graceful, so technically challenging, interesting.. Well. That's reason enough isn't it?

I am reminded of the time I really wanted to try ballet classes, last year, and how the lady who owned the studio asked if I would like to try contemporary instead (yes, I bought a groupon). She said it would be less challenging, and that I may find it better.. Truth is, she just wanted to fit me into an existing class, rather than to open a class for me specially. I mean, sure, it was a good business move, but ultimately, I shoved the dream aside (hey, dance IS dance, and I haven't tried contemporary, so I wasn't going to write it off!). But now, here I am.

Holiday time!

Dear all,

The holidays are upon us once again. And this holiday, I am looking forward to start.... ballet lessons!

It's been awhile since I've tried something new, and I'm looking forward to finally being able to fulfill one of my childhood dreams. I shall update you on. My progress and trials as an adult learner. I don't have much background in dance, and I'm not as flexible as I used to be.

I took recreational contemporary dance for about a year and a half till my teacher went back to Australia, and the studio didn't seem to care very much for me so I left. It was quite a pity because I was beginning to see progress and I enjoyed myself quite a bit.

So here's to a new beginning! My bf and I have begun trying to get fit again, to get into a workout routine and have some training sessions together so we will be prepared to climb the mountain in December. Yep! I'll keep you posted on that too.

An exciting few months to test my physical endurance... Time to rest though. So very tired after the lovely fish n co. dinner earlier.....

Have a good workout week!

Love,
Sarah
