canbelto Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 I'm going to start taking beginner ballet classes next week. Dancing has always been my #1 phobia and I think ballet classes would help me build confidence, stamina, and also perhaps help with a lot of other issues I've been dealing with. Trouble is, I'm 26. So does anyone have any advice on how to handle the awkward stares and everything? I'm just terrified a group of bunheads will start squaling in laughter when they see me. So I'm excited, but really nervous at the same time. OTOH, taking ballet classes just gives me an excuse to do something I already love: shoe shopping Link to comment
Treefrog Posted April 6, 2005 Share Posted April 6, 2005 Canbelto, there is a wonderful discussion group for adult recreational dancers at Ballet Talk for Dancers. You will find LOTS of support there for taking up ballet at your age. Heck, many of the posters there started a lot later than 26! When you register there, please use the same name. It helps to keep everyone straight. Link to comment
