Had it been another substitute teacher, I would probably have left it at that. <br /><br />I think open adult ballet classes have such variety that it is impossible to cater to everyone´s needs and skills all the time. But for the advanced girls there is no harm in doing simpler stuff once in a while,Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-18631107725706990422011-05-24T09:39:12.314+03:002011-05-24T09:39:12.314+03:00On the other hand...to me, the best thing about ba...On the other hand...to me, the best thing about ballet is that it's all just work. Talent not required: put in the hours and you will get there eventually. <br /><br />There is no silver bullet. :)candicehttp://egobsd.org/lognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-60105089265423170612011-05-22T21:05:12.097+03:002011-05-22T21:05:12.097+03:00I totally sympathise with that.

I'm glad you had the confidence to speak up about it though and I really hope you feel better about it in next time's class.

There is n...Thank you Kim for those honest words! <br /><br />There is no pointe in sugarcoating it. Ballet has never been easy, else it would not be half as rewarding as it is and can be. Though I very much doubt if it´s possible to catch up with those advanced dancers. You gotta remember that I am a very late, if not ancient starter. It takes many years of hard work, physical abilities and real talent to Johannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06703652246667999345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-10493622155779433402011-05-22T17:23:30.589+03:002011-05-22T17:23:30.589+03:00It sounds like a tough pill to swallow, Johanna.

Pay those dues, girl, and you will rewarded when you find yourself in the shoes of those more advanced dancers, having a ball.Kim @ Say What?!http://www.saywhathalifax.comnoreply@blogger.com
