Ballet On the Three

So I’ve been going to Ballet II (kind of like an “Intermediate Beginner”) since November. I advanced pretty quickly from Ballet I to Ballet II (I kind of moved myself up at the encouragement of a teacher) and while I found the Ballet II class to be very challenging at first, I acclimated after about four classes and caught up to the rhythm.

Now, I feel that the Ballet II class may be getting a little too…comfortable. It’s not boring, don’t get me wrong. But the teachers rarely change the combinations from week to week (which is bad for my brain) and don’t really teach us any new tricks (why no sissones? Chaines turns?)

So I feel like it’s time for me to go to a Ballet III (“advanced beginner”) class. One of my teachers teaches on on Friday nights and I’m thinking of attending.

Cross fingers that I don’t fall face-first on my first try. Still haven’t 100% completely made up my mind to go, but since I got an unlimited-class card (yeah, I forgot to write about this, didn’t I?) I’m not really going to lose anything by going. And a whole lot to gain.

We’ll see…
