Dancing Queen


I still need to blog more about Christmas, but I have been in such a good mood today and just have to share my joy.  About two years ago I started a high intermediate-level adult ballet class with Ballet West once a week.  It was so, so hard for a long time (I hadn't danced in like 16 years), but I loved it so much!  I could tell I was gradually getting stronger and more flexible.  It was my outlet.  I attended this class for a little over a year, until I was about 21 weeks pregnant with Abigail.

Well, I made it my goal to start attending again after this past Christmas.  I went yesterday for the first time again and was seriously in heaven!  I still have lots of baby weight to lose, but I am excited to gain my flexibility and strength back.  I love having a body that can dance and being with other grown-ups who love dancing as much as I do.  The teacher is amazing!  He stretches our abilities and wants us to improve, but he always reminds us that we are not getting a grade and don't have to audition for anything.  We are just there to have fun.  And I am!
