Ballerinas!!🩰 (and other dancers 😁)

[black_cat]

I normally take 3, 4 hour ballet classes each week, and I have been for almost 24 years now. I started when I was 4, because I liked the outfits ballerinas were wearing, and it just became part of my life. I’ve mostly forgotten it since quarantine started, but I’ve still been stretching and such.

Wow. That is a lot of ballet. I don't think that I'll continue with dance past highschool, but it depends on what classes I'll be able to find. I'm learning to do the splits this summer

I hated doing the splits as a kid, but after I became good at it it was pretty fun. It does normally take a while to learn, at least for me it did.

I am trying to get into the advanced group this year or next year, and being able to do splits will help me out considerably. I tried to learn last summer but wasn't very motivated.

Wow! Good job guys I would consider myself a dancer, because I take acro, cardio tap, (regular) tap, ballet, jazz, pointe, hip hop, lyrical, contemporary, modern, ballroom, musical theatre, eclectic groove, breakdancing etc.
I take my company classes and rehearsals on Friday and Saturday and take my ballet/pointe rehearsals to on Sunday (for whatever show we have coming up)
I actually wanted to dance when I was little because I loved how the dancers on stage looked and I wanted to go onstage SO BAD! When I was 6 I started competing and I just couldn’t stop when I was about 13/14 I realized I wanted to do this for the rest of my life. So yeah that’s how I became a dancer

Wow, that's a LOT of dancing! I'm very impressed. I tried tap once....I sucked at it and it gave me a headache, so that was the end of that. Do you dance as a career? I think that this is so cool, I would NOT have the dedication for all that!

@black_cat I do! And thanks! Also don’t worry only 5% of ballerinas/dancers take tap along with other classes

That's so cool! I don't even have the dedication to practice everyday, much less dance professionally. I admire how much work that must take! You must be able to bench press a house XD

@black_cat thank you! Haha I should try that sometime

I wish I could dance professionally, and I did for awhile, but I got kicked out.
