>Just a quick note to Basheva and Tom......>Yesterday I took my first ever ballet lesson!! I finally got the guts to give it my best shot. It was an intense hour and a half long workout like I've never had before. I mamaged to get through the class without looking too clumsy. The teacher was a very patient, and supportive woman. She said the right things to encourage me, but was also strict about how I should do the many varied positions and steps. It is "the morning after" and I feel no harm was done to my body. I can't wait until my next ballet class. I'm only sorry that I waited so many years to get into ballet. Forget the sissy stuff. Forget the fetish stuff. Once your in a ballet class, all that stuff goes right out of your head!!! You're too damn busy trying to keep up with the class to bothered by such things. I would reccomend that everybody give ballet a try.[/i]
