Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2008 11:05 pm    Post subject: Finally going back to dance!  

I started taking dance lessons at age three, but had to stop after ten years for various financial and health-related reasons.

Finally, after four years I'm going back!

I signed up for ballet, jazz, and modern. My favorite being modern.
I was just going to take that, but I just couldn't go without the other two either...
Ballet and jazz start in two weeks. My modern class won't start until September though.

I'm a bit nervous though.
I've been stretching and working out a lot lately, hoping to rebuild my strength and improve my flexibility (which is AWFUL!), and I'm afraid that I will be very much behind the rest of the dancers.

I was just wondering if anyone had any tips for me.
Both dance tips and maybe some ways to help calm my nerves (eh...)

I got an email last night and ballet and jazz now start tomorrow!

I'm soooo excited. But really really scared :?

I got all my stuff yesterday.
New leotard, tights, and shoes, since my old ones don't fit me anymore.
They're pretty. I love them.


Wish me luck! :D

It was great!
Hardly anyone was there because it's the summertime but yeah.

I was really nervous cause I thought I'd be awful, but it turns out that I remember a lot of stuff.

And I'm a whole lot more flexible than some of the people who were there, which is great cause I was extremely worried about that.


But yeah.

I can't wait until next week! :D

Just curious. Did the classes work out for you? Are you still taking classes? For health reasons I stop taking classes myself. That doesn't stop me from dancing at home with my children though.

Let's chat, I'm curious :)
