getting back into it

topic posted Tue, April 27, 2004 - 12:22 PM by  offlineTessa
won't make this post drag but the short version is, i danced for 13 years. i haven't been dancing for the past few years due to life at large and it's affecting me in every area of my life. i need to dance again.

any suggestions for getting back into dancing after a few years off?
does anybody know of any good and somewhat inexpensive studios in atlanta, ga to check out? i've danced at both ruth mitchell and the atlanta ballet...

thanks!

    I don't know your area, but GOOD FOR YOU!!!!
    It's very hard to go back after taking so much time off, but you can do it! It's amazing how hard you've really got to work to get it back in shape again though....everything wsa so much easier when we were young! The turn out, the flexibility, the strength to hold your leg in arabesque, holding your center tight enough for doubles and tripples....it's very overwelming at first, becaus the results are not imediate, but don't give up!

    I actually just had my first performance over this past weekend since i've gone back to ballet....and i kicked some major ass girl, i'll post the pictures when they're ready. I feel really really really good about it!!!

    rock (or pointe) on ;)
