Week 2! Starting with Saturday Ballet Class

Ballet today. Beginners class at city dance with Ione. She is great. Its like a trip back in time with her foreign accent taking us through the basics. I love it. It is almost spiritual. About half way through the class I find myself completely relaxed and my mind is clear. Its so graceful, peaceful and calming for the soul. Even though my but and feet and ankles and leg muscles hurt working through all the movements, it is very calming and feels great.

I do not understand all the terms yet, but I am beginning to get some of the french words and the related movements. I looked up Ballet on YouTube last night - there is every lesson you could imagine and a whole history of it. I can brush up on my terminology watching it.

This is the 5th Ballet class I have taken and I am getting much better. I spoke to Ioana to help me be the best I can be with my dancing and she said she would help me in my mission. YAY!
