When I was younger I had taken ballet and gymnastics and loved it. I never thought I would stop dancing because my dream was to become a ballerina, but that changed. I ended up moving and stopped going to ballet. I gave up trying to become a ballerina, but when I heard that I can take ballet classes at pace I was really excited. The idea of taking a class in something that I used to love, made me feel like there was no way that I could have forgotten ballet. To be honest, a few weeks into the class and I thought I was the worst student everrrr!!! It had been so long since I took a class and the level of difficulty (with the lack of skill) did not work out in my favor. To be honest, the five positions were difficult at first. Now that the class is coming to an end I see that I have so much knowledge in ballet, better alignment and I catch myself thinking about how I am standing. These are all things that have honestly made my life better. I have very few back pains now and I know how to properly stretch. I walked into the first class hoping to regain a love for ballet and I honestly did. But, I also gained skill in proper posture and the importance of exercise in everyday life.
