I Hope You DAAAAAANCE

I hate that song, by the way. But anyways, I haven't taken ballet in over a year, which is a pretty long time for me, because I took classes pretty much year round from the age of 3 to 18, and then I generally took one class a year in college. Yesterday I was wearing some short shorts and I kind of checked out my legs and started doing some stretches and basic old dance steps for fun in my apartment. There's not much room though, and I couldn't do much and I started thinking about how much I want to take some more ballet classes. WELL! Today I shuffled my schedule around a bit for spring quarter, and I will be taking ballet two times a week and I am SOOOOO excited! The one sad thing is that one of my favorite parts of ballet for all those years was actually performing, and since college has started I haven't had any opportunities to perform. My freshman year I auditioned for a piece and we started rehearsing, but no one's schedules worked well enough to be able to rehearse enough. But, that being said, I still love just going into the great big studio and working really hard for an hour and a half and feeling really sweaty and tired afterwards and feeling like I've done something that I really love to do. So I'm looking forward to it.Also, I've always thought this, but I got to thinking that I would really love to teach ballet, just kind of a part time thing. I think this picture is hilarious because that's exactly what my ballet classes were like when I started. We had those same little rugs and our teacher wore a long skirt like that, and everyone had big bellies. I don't know how you get into teaching ballet? I guess it's something I can look into.
