Just go for it. I think you will find you are in good company. Lots of luck to you - Basheva >About 30 years ago I did ballet and decided to stop classes when I was working towards RAD Intermediate. I did some contemporary and jazz after that but basically I haven't done any ballet since I was in my teens, and very little of any kind of exercise in the last ten years! >My own children are doing ballet now and I'm watching them and their classes and am finding myself really longing to dance again, ballet in particular. I am now about 50lbs heavier than my teenage dancing weight, I am feeling very much less flexible and fit than I was and I don't want to even try a class until I have managed to tackle some of this, particularly my weight. I don't think my joints would be happy with strenuous exercise with the weight I am at the moment! I wouldn't want anyone to see me in a leotard either!>However, I would like to begin with something, somehow and get the whole show on the road again. I have a fantasy that I will be slimmer, bendier and more graceful as I float through my imminent menopause years! I know that getting me doing ballet again at a level I am content with will take a long time but has anyone any suggestions where I should begin? >Has anyone out there gone back to ballet after such a long break?
