It means a lot to me that I inspired you a little :)<br /><br />I gotta say, the way you are dancing, with your background, work ethic, determination and sensible approach - you are bound to do well! If you can keep it up, I would approach a reputable teacher about pointe within three years. <br /><br />My own teacher does not accept newbies with less than 3 years ofJohannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-13414860832038336752011-06-10T21:36:42.774+03:002011-06-10T21:36:42.774+03:00I danced from when I was three until I was 12, the...I danced from when I was three until I was 12, then started again recently (I'm 20) and my goal is to be en pointe in the next five years. I would rather be over prepared than under! I take three classes a week, but I practice every day!! You are an inspiration to me!!!Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00318895611986389579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-50772424264925348272011-03-29T20:54:18.756+03:002011-03-29T20:54:18.756+03:00Riikka, you just made me all teary-eyed!

I agree with you 100% - ballet is soo worth it. <br /><br />By the way, how many classes do you take? Does your studio offer pointe class, or are exercises incorporated into regular class? <br /><br />Yay for showing the younger crowd that grown-up women can still rock.

Now 44 - ...Love it!<br /><br />Also an adult starter - at 40!<br />Now 44 - went on pointe only end of last year.<br />Worth all the effort and can not agree more with your introduction:<br /><br />Adult recreational ballet dancer in relentless and delirious pursuit of pointe and triple pirouettes - that is sooooo me !:)Susan Attfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03737801281153257556noreply@blogger.com
