1st Lesson - Beginners

It was like I was a black sheep, daring to go where the social norm for men/boys was NOT normal to do ballet. Sure Ceroc, modern Jive as you have a partner. But tights and small ballerina shoes? Are you out of your mind?! Going naked would have been similar.

Safely in the dance studio (not too ballet ish - luckily no mirrors to put you to shame. I did see big ladys and men try this on youtube and nearly cancelled before I convinced myself it was OK.

Well, now I got slightly skinny tracksuit bottoms for £5 at Primarks, perfectly similar to tights. 

The plimsols will have to do, wonder if that will change? Maybe socks instead, or bare feet?

The routines were straight forward, but you try timing your body to music, if its lightweight and delicate. Needs a good thumping beat to define the edges, but I suppose would lose all grace and elegance.

Might look to do Modern/Jazz dance so get in the more contemporary music and different moves ballet makes restricted.
