I decided I wanted to get back into Ballet. It has been a seriously long time but I'm feeling positive. Rachel and Cherish also came along with me.
The teacher had never taught a beginner class before, so started flying at me with all the french terms which I have completely forgotten, (not her fault, I did actually tell her I had done ballet a LONGGGGG time ago, my bad, should have just told her I had no experience at all...) OH DEAR, it's going to be a LONG hour and a quarter. I have crap posture, but I managed to eventually master the tummy tuck whatever the hell that is. With Rachel in front of me looking amazing, and Cherish the other side who is actually very good, I just felt crap by the end of it. Not exactly what exercise is meant to do?
Had ONE drink in a bar and was drunk. Not drinking after exercise again. I walked home vowing to go back next week and hopefully it will have become a bit easier. ermmmm. Here's hoping anyway... Things can only get better right?
Ballet is an unusual choice for "exercise" no? Pilates, yoga or step classes would probably be more useful in that respect. It's a beautiful art form, though. The incredible San Francisco/Sacramento ballerina Chloe Felesina (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez9YQVkMjaw) is a friend of mine.
