Ballet


I have a new love. Ballet. I have never done ballet before. I've always found it fascinating and beautiful, but never had the opportunity to experience it before. This semester I am taking my first real ballet class.



My professor's name is Jennifer. She is absolutely amazing! I am so glad that she came to teach us "beginners" this semester! As a professional dancer, she certainly knows what she is talking about. Every time I'm in class I just can't get enough of it. Jennifer has an excellent way of teaching and I know that I am improving every day. (As a side note...ballet is the best way to tone your body!)



There is something magical about ballet. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it just amazes me. I love the feeling of just floating above the floor. I love the feeling all of my muscles working for just a simple tondu. I love the classical music. I love to use the bar. I love balancing and turning. I just love it all! Yay for ballet!



I'd like to think that maybe one day I could be a ballerina...but for now, this one class is satisfying my want of ballet. If you haven't ever done it before, look into it. Nothing can make you feel poise and grace like a ballet class :)

  1. I love watching ballet dancers too! They have such an amazing control over their bodies. Will you have a dance concert to show us what you have learned? I hope, I hope!
