2012!
hurray. hurrah. may it be greater than 2011. :)
i learnt a lot, did a lot and changed a lot in the last year. i didn’t quite do everything on my to do list but it’s always a work in progress. plus there’s always 2012. :)
2011 was a year full of ups, downs, tears, smiles, lust, heartbreak, mistakes and successes.
2012 has been stated as my year of growth. i am going to makes changes in my health, finances, career, love life.
bring it on! :)
a ballerina in the making.
i have started taking ballet classes and i am really enjoying it. :)
most common questions i get asked once people find out:
1. why?
2. don’t you have to have started it when you were really young?
3. are you going to have a recital?
4. do you have to wear a tutu?
my answers:
1. it really appeals to me - maybe because it’s elegant and there’s beauty in it. as much as i tried to learn other dance styles (salsa, hip hop), i felt incredibly unco doing them. also because i wanted to get more active and going to the gym held absolute no appeal to me. it turns out ballet is a complete body workout.
2. the school i am taking my classes through is designed specifically for adults and it takes you through entry level 1 up to entry level 4 seamless over 36 weeks (or 3 terms). a lot of adults are actually taking up ballet.
3. there are no recitals - thank goodness. :) but it doesn’t stop my sister asking me to gallop for her.
4. no tutus are required for the classes but it’s true what the teachers say: once you start thinking of yourself as a ballerina, you want to dress like one - i think i may need to go shopping soon. :)
it’s great. :) i would highly recommend anyone who wants to learn to go for it. :)
