    I danced as a child and teenager until the age of about 18. I came back to ballet 9 years ago at the age of 47, primarily for fitness reasons. I rediscovered my passion for the art, and now do 11 classes per week, and have also started teaching adult classes at one of the premier daily dance studios in the area. I can’t believe now that I was away from it for so long! I am definitely a happier, fitter, thinner person than I was in the years without ballet.

    I hated the movie…I think it contained every ballet cliche one could possibly think of! And although I like Natalie Portman as an actress, her ’ballet dancing’ was just not good enough to cut it – apart from the pieces done by her body double, which were lovely. And that scene where she and Mila Kunis were dancing around in rehearsal with long hair flying everywhere! Oh, please!!!! Most of my ballet friends disliked it also.
