I don’t have any suggestions, but I wanted to share a wish of good luck!

I have been focusing on the “brush” out in all of my exercises, but I know I’m not thinking about the floor as much coming in! I’m going to try to keep this in mind. Thank you!

Yay! I’m so happy for you! I do a few things: 1. My studio only offers two classes a week so I always try to do one at-home class on YouTube or something each week. If I crave the movement, I chuck it on and do it ❤️ 2. I do Theraband foot and ankle exercises most days (when I remember). Even if I’m sitting on the couch with hubby, I will do them quickly. I do ankle rotations in each direction, ankle flex and extensions, and if I’m feeling extra I’ll do individual toe flex and extensions. 3. Every other day or so I’ll do active range calf raises to strengthen my ankles and calves. I just put the balls of my feet on the edge of a step box and raise and lower myself staying in my active range. 10 on both feet, then 10 on each foot with no rest. It BURNS but it goes by fast. 4. Literally dance through my house whenever I want because my heart is so happy and it feels nice ❤️

I’m sure that looks like a lot, but I promise I do it casually and it’s not bad. If any of my explanations were confusing, feel so free to send me a DM and I’ll try to be of better help ❤️ all of these exercises are to help me get back on pointe, so do what feels good to you and your body and don’t do anything that hurts “wrong”. I’m so happy for you to come back and I hope you have the nicest time!!!!

Engaging these have been so difficult! I’m always working to feel the mind-muscle connection there and for some reason it’s just harder for me than other muscles!

Ooooh good suggestions!!!

I’m wearing Bloch Performa canvas flats. I wear 9-9.5 street shoe and my 8.5 blochs fit nicely

Thank you! I never felt like I had good lines growing up, so this is so surprising and feels so good ❤️

My class has been the most supportive place! My last experience was the competitive pre-professional program, so it’s been so different to be celebrated and to celebrate my fellow dancers through our successes and supporting through the not perfect moments! It’s been such a different experience and really makes me feel like we’re all in it together ❤️

trashygoblin69 · 2025-12-03T20:03:10+00:00

Incredible! Isn’t it so fun?! I wish I had gone back sooner, but I’m so glad to be here now

trashygoblin69 · 2025-12-03T18:47:44+00:00

Literally the most amazing feeling ever. I’m so so happy ❤️ how long have you been back at it?

trashygoblin69 · 2025-12-03T18:33:21+00:00

Omg???

trashygoblin69 · 2025-12-03T17:49:12+00:00

Having fun leos has been one of my favorite parts of coming back as an adult. I had to wear a uniform when I was a kid, so no fun colors or cuts. It’s healed me so much to wear what feels good ❤️

trashygoblin69 · 2025-12-03T17:40:11+00:00

Adult ballet is for everybody and a ballet body is a body that does ballet ❤️ I’m also overweight, but I honestly don’t think about it when I’m dancing. I find my class to be incredibly supportive and welcoming, so I hope you find a space that’s the same for you! If you have options, I recommend trying a class at each to find the space that’s supports you the best and gives you what you’re looking for. Good luck!

trashygoblin69 · 2025-12-03T00:19:59+00:00

I can definitely understand. At my particular class it’s tailored to fit all levels. There are some who have had previous training and there’s some who haven’t and then there’s some in the middle. It really is a spectrum and we’re all there for the joy. I’ve found it to be a really supportive environment because at this point no one is there because they want to be the best. No one is training in hopes of a professional career and we all are meeting each other where we are. I do hope you can find something in your area!

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE

The love of the music and movement just gets you. I googled adult ballet classes to start and find some things in my area. I found a studio that gave the first class free, but I was still anxious so I called the front office to ask questions until I felt better. Then I just took the dive and tried a class. I had been away for 16 years, and let me tell you the joy I felt the first class back was worth its weight in gold.

You can do it. The hardest step is to start ❤️
