So You Think You Can Dance

Maybe I will be a contestant for Season 6? Probably not but I (Andrea) did have my first ballet class yesterday, first class after not dancing at all for probably 4 years and definitely not dancing consistently for 7 years.

To increase my aerobic activity I have decided to enroll in 2 adult ballet classes per week at the studio I attended during my younger years. It has been great to see all the same teachers and some what comforting as well. I was very nervous for the first class; fearful of my lack of flexibility, fearful to wear pink tights and a leotard, fearful of falling on my face, pretty much fearful of everything because it was very unknown to me how my body would react.

I am happy to report that my first class went better than I had expected. My favorite teacher was the one who taught and a young lady I know from volunteering with the high school youth group was also a participant in the class. Now don't get me wrong my body is definitely not the same and muscles that I have not used in 4 plus years will require great strengthening but overall I am not as out of condition as I had anticipated.

I am also happy to report that I CAN walk today, LOL. My caffs are slightly sore but I can walk without limping too noticeably.

Here is a picture of me after my first class: (no I will not just wear tights and a leotard, I will be wearing the shorts for a long time as there is much to cover up)
