Hello everyone!

This is my first post here - so I'll briefly introduce myself. I'm 23, living in the UK, completing my undergrad in the evenings and will be getting married and starting a masters degree and teacher training in 2016!

I danced tap, modern and ballet when I was 7-16 - but quite sporadically and only took exams up to about grade 4, and my ballet class was general teen beginners/no exams. I absolutely loved it and wished I'd never stopped - but we all know that teenage rebellion comes with its regrets!!

I went to one drop in adult class last year and LOVED it, but at the time I couldn't really afford it and it was quite a long way to travel, so my nerves got the better of me and I didn't go back.

I've gotten quite out of shape in the last year, so am determined to a) get fit for my wedding so that I can get in my dress and b) finally indulge myself and go to regular ballet classes. My mum never thought ballet was worth working for, so I'd really like to work up from beginners classes to adult RAD exams (if anyone has done this I'd love to hear from you!!) and after a few years maybe make it en pointe!

SO - last night I took the first step and booked an 11 week block of 90 minute Adult Ballet Improvers classes starting on the 11th Jan and ordered myself a new leo. Will be aiming to build up to 2, then 3 classes a week with the additional drop in classes on Thursdays and Sundays.

I am SO excited and can't wait to try my new kit on - and couldn't wait to share my news
