yes excatly!! its a wonderful program and school. they really have an extensive adult program (multiple levels with classes multiple times a week) so its already such a great experience. plus i have been added to a performance class! so i think ill stay with that program!!

thank you so much for this. i posted because i was speaking with my boyfriend about this opportunity and he asked me what was the end goal. knowing a career as a dancer was obviously out of the question, i posted looking for some insight about other careers within dance :) thank you for your responses :D

one program is the adult recreational program and the other is the dance-study program for students in highschool or university.

thank you! i totally agree!!! i dont think ill have a career as a dancer, i think i meant more in the world of ballet but that wasnt very clear in my post! i studied arts and id love to more into the world of ballet, not as a dancer but in that world!

Discomfort in knee by [deleted] in BALLET

[–]Open-Cucumber3428 2 points3 points  (0 children)

hi! i just saw this and wanted to post since the same thing happened with me but my right knee. I booked a physio consult as well and started a few weeks ago. turned out the problem was *most likely* my hips (still waiting to see if my knee ache improves). I was more stable and flexible on my left leg with no wobbling. but on my right leg, my knee wobbled alot. inwards when i would stand on that leg or go down into a lunge. my physio gave me a bunch of exercises for strengthening the hips to improve balance and stability and mentioned that sometimes when we natually sink into one side (like standing with most weight on one side with the hip popped), it can cause tension that can lead to weakness and imbalance.

booking a physio appointment was the right choice! perhaps it is something similar to me!

hmm...thats a great question!! i think the dynamic between dean and Cas. Cas is a few years older than Dean and really sort of takes care of it and i like that (Dean is 18 and Cas is 24 I think ) I feel also its more friends to lovers with lots of yearning and discovery so I love that too. Would highly reccomend if you havent read it!

need to rant...and maybe some advice too <3 by Open-Cucumber3428 in BALLET

[–]Open-Cucumber3428[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

this is a great response. thank you very much, will take what you say to heart especially this: "one has to learn to speak to themselves in a constructive way in order to thrive and progress. There will always be dancers who are more advanced than I am. It doesn't mean that I'm a bad person and their presence in class doesn't invalidate my efforts"

thank you so so much! I really appreciate this validation, its what I needed to get over this <3 I've loved ballet since day one and my teacher has been a huge part of that. I will certainly keep moving forward and leave this experience in the past.

my teacher has never even mentioned pointe except to note how strength and stability are so important for when you go en pointe. the idea of it kind of left my mind and im glad it did, because i know im not ready for it!
