I never in my life thought at my age I would be taking a ballet class but a friend talked me into it.  At first I said, "No way."  But then I realized I need to do things for me.  And other than getting a monthly pedicure I really don't do anything for myself.  So, yesterday I went to my first class and I have to say I was impressed with myself.  No, I can't show you first position, let alone fifth.  No, I can't remember any of the tricky combinations.  And no, I can't recite any of the ballet terms.  I felt awkward, clumsy and totally lost.  But I muddled my way through it and I am still alive to talk about it.  What a workout!  My poor legs and muscles were quivering when I left class.  And today my entire lower half of my body is sore.  But I am not going to quit.  I need this.  When I mentioned the class to my daughter she immediately signed up for a class as well and enrolled my three-year-old granddaughter.  No, we are not in the same class but it will be fun talking about it together.  Three generations of dancers.  If you want a challenge try something totally out of your comfort zone.  You will be surprised how amazing you'll feel afterward.
