tonight, i went to my first ballet class. it was wonderful. a little ramble/back story: i danced for years when i was little. i took classes for about ten years at kathleen academy. i took combo (tap/ballet) when i was little and then jazz forever after that. i eventually quit though. the last year i danced, i really didn’t like the teacher after loving all of the other teachers i ever had. i came in crying one day because i was late to class and i hated being late (esp. after a crummy day) and my teacher asked me if my father was hitting me. i was like, uh wtf. i was pretty offended because that clearly wasn’t the case lol. i didn’t like her and that was what kind of did it in for me & i quit. i should have stuck with it or switched dance schools or something, but oh well. anyway, i took beginners hip hop at the princeton school of ballet when i was in college. marissa and i did it together and it was super fun. then, two years ago, my cousin christina asked me if i wanted to try zumba with her at her daughter’s dance studio. i figured it would be fun, i had always liked dancing, and i’ve gone to every session since. and now, they have adult/teen ballet! i always wanted to try it again and this is a great opportunity. it’s definitely a for fun thing, not so super serious & no pressure, which is perfect. it’s nice to have another fun thing to do. plus, it’s good exercise. i was wavering about whether or not to go though. today wasn’t so great and i was pretty tired, but pete encouraged me to go, reminding me how i’d been saying i wanted to try ballet since we met and how i’d been talking about this class starting for weeks. i’m glad he did. after class & a nice shower, i’m feeling refreshed. :]
