Thank you for providing all here with a healthy>dose of reality.>Terry Gal Terry -- I certainly never meant to imply that I would not take the classes seriously and would only go to leer at the women. I should have mentioned that my wife is a dancer and has taken ballet all of her life, so I am aware of the commitment and hard work that it takes. I have been looking for some sort of organized activity that would provide me with exercise and this sounds like just what I am looking for. I'm sorry if I offended anyone here and made it sound like I had no respect for ballet -- I certainly do! Answers to this message: |
