"Lift from your belly button" my ballet instructor says as we do our plié.
I think I am. There are only four of us in the class. She has said it more than once. I know she is talking to me. Two of my classmates have been doing this class and the other has a bit of dance background.
I have none. Unless you count the ballet I did when I was five. I had mean princess walk but when I got in trouble for not putting my hair up...I quit.
"Look in the mirror. Make sure your bum is moving down not sticking out."
I have chosen the one spot in the room where I do not have a mirror in front of me. And I like it that way.
I have to say I thought I was flexible with all my yoga classes but we hold stretches for a looooong time. Oh and the splits...just not there yet:) don't think I will ever be there.
But the whole time I am smiling. I love the challenge. I try to get my arms to move at the same time as my feet. I usually only focus on my feet...oh and lifting that damn belly button!
We prance, princess walk, leap...
Feet are in 1st position, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc position
I am learning many technical ballet terms.
The class is an hour and it goes by really fast.
I am havin fun!!
The music it is pretty good too.
Kerplunk, bam, bam, boom
Those are my ballet sounds when you do it Robyn style;0)
