    Thanks so much for inviting me! I've also been looking for groups like this haha.

    I'm Jen and I'm also an adult beginner. Danced as a kid but haven't stepped foot in a studio in 12 years...until now! Taking an adult ballet class twice per week and I love it.

    I'm here too now! I'm Elisa. I started dancing at 22 and I'm hooked! Although I love ballet, I think modern dance is my favorite to dance :) I do want to dance en pointe hopefully within the next 2 years!

    Hi everyone! I'm so glad you've all joined my group!!!! :D My name is Doriya and I'm an advanced pre-pro ballet student, hoping to get into some professional ballet schools for next year. I started pretty young, I was around two, but the summer before grade 4 my mom made me quit so I want back to it after about 7 years and I've just been working really hard. I'm determined to make it into a company and at least make soloist! (I'm 18 right now, by the way). I am possibly going to start taking 15+ hours a week of ballet. I'm really excited. I'm going to the studio next week on Wednesday to take a trial class and convince my mom that the Vaganova training is worth the cost

    Hi all, my name is Dawn & I'm new here. I have been dancing since I was 3 and have been teaching ballet, jazz and tap for 22 years. I also have a B.A. in Wellness and am a certified fitness instructor. I have a desk job now, as teaching 30plus hours per week was starting to have serious effects on me physically. I still take class every now and then, but I mostly teach.

    Yeah I never did the whole 30 minutes. I usually did about 10, lol. I did a lot of days, but kind of lost track towards the end there. I still stretch every day but not like I was. Hey, I'm still bendy! LOL!

    Hey, I'm Sarah and I'm 21. I danced a lot when I was younger but more disco/cheerleading. Stopped due to family reasons when I was 14 but my boyfriend convinced me to take up ballet for the first time 2 years ago. I take a ballet and jazz combined class once a week.

    I won a bet the other night that I couldn't do a split (poor guy didn't know I was a dancer, just knew that I was pushing 40 y.o. and claimed to be flexible). I did a split right there in the bar, in jeans and cowboy boots, and got $20. Sucker!!! So yeah, it's totally possible to keep flexibility if you don't ever let it go. Now, I can't kick my face in a grand battement or leap like I used to, but do I really need to?

    Hi Sarah! Your combined class sounds really fun. We've talked about starting a class like that, as our beginning adult ballet class is starting to fizzle out a little.

    It's a good fun, we do some barre work and then some movement down the room and then our teacher, who is an ex-musical theatre performer, teaches us some of her fun routines from when she was on stage. Makes it a bit more fun for us as we don't take it really seriously.
