I had my first class after the holidays today. It was hard, I felt old, I felt every muscle in my body work. Which is a great feeling! Except I know I'm going to regret this tomorrow morning when I wake up... But guess what! I have a ballet class tomorrow morning too! No rest for the wicked.
Seriously though, ballet, and dance in general, is one of the most important things in my life. The only moment when I truly feel myself, when I feel beautiful and free, is when I'm dancing.
Dance is like meditation for me, it's the best way to feel that deep mind-body connection that is so hard to find in modern life. Give it a try ;)
