I started taking a liturgical dance class at our local dance studio in October. I'm the lone adult taking the class with five teens. I'm not sure what they think of me but they're nice girls. I never really wanted to learn ballet (hip-hop, jazz, modern......okay. Ballet? Uhm, I never considered myself graceful) until our instructor started using a lot of it in class. All those French words! I'm now wanting to learn more. I've asked for a recommendation for a good beginning ballet video as there is no class for this for adults. Julie says I'm doing fine, but for those who know me well, know that I have this perfectionist tendency ;-) . Anyway, I'm also an impatient sort of person when it comes to wanting to learn something new (you know, right now?) so I looked on the internet and found some videos done by a professional ballerina and teacher named Jodie Gates. Guess what? All those French words are getting more familiar :-)
