>I just have to note what a wonderful and giving person Basheva is, To respond to all these questions, and a lot are the same thing...when can I go on pointe, is it too late for me, and on and on...I was on another board for adult ballet, but could not respond because I don't "Yahoo" yet. Thank you for the barre and center routine, which is very similar to my instructor's. What dedication you must have! I dare say, you are not really in retirement, just still teaching in a different capacity! All the best to all![/i]
