Apparently my ballet is improving, I can’t quite see or feel it but am putting it down to no longer being stressed out of my tiny mind. However such occurrences as managing to do an entire sissone exercise the wrong way round do make me query this assertion from other people… We shall see, je suppose.

Love the fact that your dancing is improving! Moving past the stage of constantly thinking and overthinking things and gradually growing towards the ‘just dancing’ phase in which you feel almost at ease with all the movements 🙂
I don’t know that I’ve reached that point yet, but I do know that now a lot of my work stress has vamooshed ballet feels different… Probably better, but I’m my own worst critic/enemy so who even knows!
Haha aren’t we all our own worst critics and enemies?? It’s a tough job 😉
Don’t jinx it as I don’t own anything yet! (Despite being suddenly much poorer) Your birthday was ace, thank you for sharing it with me xx
NO JINXSKI.
Also my socks keep falling down today which will forever remind me of my birthday 😉
“Still, grey and to all appearances dead” – is that a Chalet School reference? If so, yay! If not, um, ignore me, haha.
It is indeed! Hi5!
