Just imagine you're a ballet dancer on vacation, bringing a bit of extra glamour into the club ;) <br /><br />Have you done any floor barre classes? Once you know the exercises, you can do them at home, and it will help maintain your form. I usually do some developpé and turnout exercises.

Fitness, musicality and fun? Check. Ballet technique and pointe work? Nope. *sigh* I have seen far more dance studios around here than I know of back home, though, so drop-ins should be possible.Jenna Rideout | Westveil Publishinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446552200016951170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-4016815339791865292012-09-06T16:37:06.445+03:002012-09-06T16:37:06.445+03:00Hi Jenna!

Doesn't make it any easier though. At least your education is an investment in the future, and hopefully to well-paid jobs that allow you to dance again! <br /><br />Does your university offer any dance classes at all?

This year I'm a full time university student again (was part time for a few years) in a new city, living on a budget that doesn't allow for a steady class at all. Not even one. Drop-ins some time? Maybe.<br /><br />I love that last photo.

Once you're hooked, that's really it :) I know that a career in dance is very hard, but I hope those pros all know how lucky they are! <br /><br />Kirsi, I wish you get to have the classes you need/want soonest possible!<br />As for me, things might possibly be looking up, if only Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-86033407377740347142012-09-04T21:35:57.315+03:002012-09-04T21:35:57.315+03:00Thanks for sharing your feelings Johanna!

The best thing about not being able to dance is finding out there's a lot of other things you can do instead. But the longing for a class still sometimes feels somewhat unbearable, and indeed the worst thing is when you don't know when the situation will change.

It's so cool to see professional dancers doing daily class, working at their technique, getting corrections and dancing full out. Awesome.
