Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hi Mike, I took ballet for about 6 or 7 years. Loved every minute of it, to this day I still use some of the warm up barre exercises I learned there for stretching. Ballet was also da** good discipline and my teacher was so handsome (lol) I gave up ballet to ride horses. Then I gave up horses when I discovered boys, lol. I'm pleased Carley will give ballet a try. It is much more than just walking around/dancing in leotards and tutu's. It was good to learn about movement and posture in general, plus looking back on it, there was a good focus on balance. The beauty and grace I found in ballet followed me into horsebackriding, and even now, I use ballet-derived movements, exercises in aquatics, initially derived from ballet steps. For me, ballet was a good foundation in many ways. ~ Gretchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
