Congratulations on starting ballet at last! I started when I was 20 and now it’s been almost 40 years! My passion remains.
One thing I vividly remember about my very first ballet classes is learning how to tendu. I thought “what’s the big deal? I can stand here and do this all day.” I thought that for about 2 weeks (a total of 6 classes) and then the light came on. “OH!”, I thought. NOW I get it. I started pushing against the floor to get that foot to tendu. That was a game changer.
I look back on those baby ballet days with great fondness. I hope you stick with it and come up with your own baby ballerina stories.
