For various reasons, I haven't been able to dance as much as I would have liked to in the last few years. There have been some health problems and other major life changes that have forced me to slow down the pace and even stop dancing for a while.
And all the other problems aside, when you're an adult, finding the right dance school and suitable classes that fit your a) timetables, b) skills and objectives, and c) the size of your wallet - well, let's just say that it can be complicated. And so, for a while now, my pointe shoes have been mostly gathering dust. It hasn't been only a bad thing - in the meantime I've been able to concentrate on my other dear activities, such as singing. Nonetheless, I was super excited to discover on Friday that there is a new ballet school in town!
I immediately phoned the owner, an elderly lady who told me that the school is situated in the centre (great!), they have evening classes on intermediate and advanced level (even better!) and they do pointe work in all of their classes (perfect!). As it turns out, one of these classes takes place tomorrow evening and the owner warmly welcomed me to come and try it.
No need to tell me twice! :) So here's what I'll be doing tonight with my new pointe shoes that have been patiently waiting for their turn(s)!
