This post struck a chord with me, as I can identify so much with the rôle you describe that dance plays in you life. To me, that is what coming to the stables does.

That sort of comment --"it's cheaper than therapy!"--sparked a very funny conversation with some ballet pals as we considered the cost of classes, dance wear, pointe shoes, physiotherapy, etc ;)<br />Kaijanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-72950246667570371932012-11-16T01:23:26.125+02:002012-11-16T01:23:26.125+02:00Johanna, lovely post again.
