So my good friend who works at a nearby ballet studio texted me letting me know that there was a free ballet class. Now ballet classes are pretty much always expensive but a free one is almost unheard of and it was being taught by an old teacher of mine, Kaitlin.

When I got to the studio, I had my dad sign a wavier and gave Kaitlin a hug and we chatted for a minute or two. Then as other dancers began to show up, I recognized a handful of dancers who I had danced with for years and my one of my other old teachers, who it turns out had lost a ton of weight.

The interesting observation before class that I made was that I chatted a bit but I was pretty quiet for the most part because there wasn't a ton of people who I could chat with.

When we entered the classroom and everyone continued chatting and I just stayed quiet because once you're in the classroom, I've know that it's respectful just to be quiet and respectful.

The class itself was very deja vu to my old ballet Hanneke's class. It was the same music and I am pretty sure that the combinations where very similar to ones that Hanneke had given. The class was simple and I was able to work on my technique and focus on my footwork.

The floor was wood and I could feel the concrete underneath me and I really missed my marley ballet at where I normally dance and to clarify, I have not left the studio that I am dancing at, I just took a class at a nearby studio.

To be brutally honest about the ballet class, it was simple and a bit disappointing. I was expecting it to be more challenging and I guess I was kind of expecting a curve but I never got anything. It was nice to have the class and my quads are a bit sore but I'm pretty sure that's just because I haven't danced in a couple of weeks.

I start back up at my studio for the ballet private coaching in 11 days so I am excited for that and really looking forward to getting back to a normal ballet routine.

Anyways, as always, have a great day and just keep dancing. ~Mia
