Is it possible to enjoy ballet classes when you are no longer a little girl dreaming of a career as a dancer? Is it possible to go back even though you have begun to forget that your body is your own and not just for nurturing your child?
I didn’t have a moment to ponder on these questions as the class was NOT “beginners” after all, so it was brain workout as much body. Battement frappé, pirouette, pas de chat, grande battement: complicated combinations of difficult moves requiring considerable strength, to very fast music.
The difference is that now I’m not afraid of getting stuff wrong and will do it with a smile and a flourish.
It was fun, especially the jumping, and at the end of the class the other dancers gave me a round of applause for my brave first attempt! The teacher said I’d done well and should continue in this class.
I’m going to see if I can still walk tomorrow first.
