You have to be living under a rock to ignore all of the Black Swan hype that's happening. I mean the Rodarte tutu's alone are enough to make any girl go gaga. Long ago, I too was a disciplined dancer who thrived on multiple classes a week and prancing around in pointe shoes. When I was home over the holidays I found my ballet bag filled with pink tights, colorful tutus and black leotards. (I'll skip over the part where I tried to perform in pointe shoes for my family and promptly got laughed off the stage in our living room.) I snuck the basic ballet necessities into my suitcase and set myself on a mission to find adult beginner (le sigh) classes in LA. This week I took my first class in 8 years. To say I'm sore is an understatement. Sure I can run a distance race at a moment's notice, but dancing works the body in a whole different way. Totally hooked. I'll keep you all posted on my progress throughout the coming months...and hopefully with some dedication, I'll be twirling (and giving non-embarrassing performances) on pointe shoes again in no time!
