But once you know what difference even 5x makes, well then you always want/need more! I´m happy for you that you could spend that much time & energy on your recital :)<br /><br />Last week I only had time for 2 classes. Two! But a girl´s gotta do.. <br /><br />Thanks, the photos came out surprisingly wellJohannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-80452491190764744662011-04-04T02:28:42.990+03:002011-04-04T02:28:42.990+03:00Hi Johanna,

It seems the adult life schedule is so much more challenging than teen age schedule. During Nutcracker rehearsal I was able to spend every spare moment in class and rehearsal, but now I'm down to only being able to dance 4 classes a week. <br />I Aileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493080239603374847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-47344878381630320542011-03-22T22:44:04.440+02:002011-03-22T22:44:04.440+02:00Iepukka, what is amazing that it helps with your f...Iepukka, what is amazing that it helps with your flexibility too!

Also, comfortable to wear and overall good quality.

But as you already surmised from my post, I do so understand! 2-3 times a week will just tie you over, even though it´s better than nothing.. But if you know what regular 5-6 classes a week can do to and for you, you will always know that you are missing out. Can you take more classes in the summer?

Especially since you are no longer an absolute beginner and have a much better idea of what you are supposed to be doing. :) But as soon as you can, take another class one level up. If you can only attend two classes, one should be right at your present level (and "comfortable") - and the other Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-33843207737161518572011-03-11T02:36:22.310+02:002011-03-11T02:36:22.310+02:00I wish I could take more classes, myself, but the ...I wish I could take more classes, myself, but the options for adults around here is very limited unless I want to drive 50 miles to the big city near us (I used to live near the big city and that was during my ballet hiatus... I could kick myself now for not taking advantage of those great class opportunities!). I usually only get in 2-3/week myself (not counting the class I teach). <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-1172356760107974182011-03-11T01:55:42.784+02:002011-03-11T01:55:42.784+02:00I hope you can find the time to take in another cl...I hope you can find the time to take in another class! I'm an absolutely beginner about to complete my first term of ballet, and I can already say I wish I could afford to do it a whole lot more than I do. I'm going to re-enroll in beginner ballet and dedicate more time at home to stretching and balance work, in hopes that after that, I can find the money to take two classes a week.
