This girl in an orange suit went back to ballet classes

I am back in Ballet Classes!! at 54!!

I am still trying to source an orange skirt!!-but I am loving putting on the ballet shoes again!!

I haven’t danced Classical Ballet since I was about 16 years old…I was okay at it when I was younger, not a child prodigy …but not bad…I remember the bleeding toes from Pointe Shoes…and I could never remember the French names for the dance moves…and..I could never do the splits!!

But while everyone was at tennis or netball practice in their teenage years, I was dancing up to 4 times at week, honestly I could not hit or throw a ball, so thank goodness I was half decent at dancing!!

To come back into a dance studio at my age (to an Adult Ballet Class) is just a joy…and it was all ignited by Stars of Newcastle- being chosen to dance last year at Civic Theatre , I knew I wanted to continue dancing, after the fun I had during that time.

I love my weekly classes, the other ladies are so nice, my dance teacher is amazing and very patient and most of the time we dance to Bridgerton music (heavenly!!).

I am so looking forward to relearning old dance steps and learning new ones….and I am not ruling out wearing Pointe Shoes again and a Tutu….as they say you are never too old to dance and never say never!!
