[i] It's true, sort of, I dislike ballet classes. I can't dance. I can't remember
the combinations. They go in one eye and out the other. I foul them up every-
time (yet as I say this I am smiling-in fond remembrance of doing the same in
other ballet classes. Yet, once again, I restarted ballet after a 6 year hiatus.
Sorry, Balletboy, I have had some great conversations with you under false
pretensions-I wasn't taking ballet at the time.
Still, I restarted the other night, taking an intermediate class, with two
other adults and a pre-professional student, and I liked it up to point.
Thanks to an earlier teacher, Miss Ruth, at Ruth MItchell Ballet, I found it
easier to practice, just reminding myself it's exercise. Thanks to Zen meditation, I was able to relax and have fun and laugh at my mistakes.
So why do I do it. Well, like alot of you, I have a lycra fetish, and a large
collection of tights, unitards, leotards, etc. and I love wearing them all.
I love the shape ballet gives to dancers bodies, both male and female. Thin,
athletic and strong. I like/love/and dislike the movements involved. Sometimes
I feel like a dancer, sometimes like an athlete, and sometimes a klutz. But most
of all, I LOVE pointe.
I have only done it once. My pointe shoes are at home, made in Japan, by
Chacott, by a shoemaker who probably thought the shoes were for Frankenstein. I
stood up on them once, at the barre, and never again. I learned to have an
enormous and healthy respect for anyone that can put pointe shoes on, even if
they only wear them at the barre.
I went to the class, and the two women, both adult students, non-professional,
wore pointe shoes. At the barre and out in the center. And I was envious. And I
admired them.
I am not getting younger. So, I was curious if there was a short-cut, but
apparently not. I want to learn pointe. I want to be able to do pointe. Not just
at the barre or center. I want to dance, not necessarily ballet, but down at the
local fetish club, to rock/pop/soul/goth/industrial/etc.
I am not asking a question-this was just something I wanted to get off my chest. Thanks for reading this.[/i]
