It's official, sort of

I talked about getting back into dance in my last post. Well it's sort of official! By that I mean Allie called the Dance Theatre of Jacksonville and they gave us a price we can live with ($44 a month). That was the deal sealer for me.
I guess the class wont start until September or so and it will be Tuesday nights. I'm a little bummed that it's only one day a week but you have to start somewhere right?

When I used to dance as a kid I had practice at least 3 times a week so I think that was burned into my brain. But I am lucky enough to have a baby girl who loves to dance so I can just practice every day at home with her :-)

I have to admit that I am super nervous for a couple reasons. First of all, I have no idea what to expect. It's an adult ballet class that is open to anyone. If it's open to everyone I'm assuming it's not going to be unbearably difficult. At least I hope not.

Also, I'm nervous because I don't remember any of the ballet positions. I know a lot of them I just couldn't tell you what position they were. Most of my dance was clogging (or tap) but I always loved ballet more.

I can't wait to go ballet clothes/shoe shopping. Yes, I will find any excuse to buy new shoes but really I just love dance clothes. Leotards are super comfy and ballet shoes just make you feel pretty. I'm not a huge fan of the tights part but I'll deal.

The little girls ballet class has to wear black leotards with pink stockings. I kind of hope they don't make a bunch of adults dress the same. I would like a little freedom even if it just means I can wear a blue leotard instead of black lol. And I prefer to wear shorts over my leotard. I always have so I hope that's allowed.

I hope it all comes back to me. I would love to jump back into it and have a good grasp by the time Abigail is old enough to start ballet class. Not that I want to do a mother daughter class though. I saw a couple of those at my little sisters recital and they look ridiculous. Except one. One was really beautiful. It was a mom who is like a pro at pointe and her daughter. If I get really good at pointe I might consider that.

Anyways, this is super long and dull I'm sure so I'll leave it at that.

Dancing

I used to dance when I was younger. I danced from like 3 yrs old until I was about 12 or something like that. I loved it but sports came into my life and I loved them more.

Now that I'm older I realize how much I miss dancing. I have missed it for a while. I think having volleyball throughout school helped me but now that I have no sport I'm back to missing dance.

Recently a friend and fellow blogger Allie mentioned how she wanted to take an adult ballet class. I immediately jumped at the chance and said I would go with her.

I am really hoping we can find something in the area. I haven't been this excited since my very first dance class. Maybe I can jump back into it and even become a dance teacher one day. (That was my childhood dream. Well to be a prima ballerina but same thing right? haha).

It doesn't help that I'm addicted to So You Think You Can Dance. I know I'll never be that good but I think I need dance in my life again. And Allie is right, it's never too late!
