Rond de jambe en l'air

This year I've taken up ballet again at a local dance studio. Juilliard it ain't, but I've been enjoying the weekly stretches and exercise. Ballet is one of the most difficult dance forms to excel at, because you are constantly using every muscle and you must be aware of every part of your body, all at once. But when you are dancing along with beautiful music, the feeling is wonderful!

I'm planning on looking into taking a beginning pointe class over the summer or next autumn, if I can. Dancing on pointe was always a girlhood dream of mine. I didn't stick with ballet long enough to get that advanced before, but why not try it now? Better late than never!
