Another Zen hour in Ballet

Ballet is so zen. By the time I was half way through the class today all my cares and worries disappeared. It was hard work, as I really focussed on strengthening my turn out today, and making sure I was really using my stomach muscles for all the movements while staying long through the body - which takes an enormous amount of concentration and focus and tensing of the muscles.

I feel like it is improving my hip hop as I am so much more stable and also am learning certain ways to move that you also move like in hip hop.

Here is the structure of one of my ballet classes - Check out this YouTube clip

I can basically get every lesson online also - its amazing. Same with hip hop and other styles.

So when I get back from my conditioning session at the gym in the mornings which I am doing for the next few weeks to really give myself a solid foundation to hit it hard with my hip hop, I am going to watch some classes online and have my brain use its mirror neurons to learn to dance better just by watching it.
