A good friend is starring in Our Town playing Emily at the Dairy Center this week, so I clicked over to purchase tickets and found myself perusing their web site for the first time a few weeks ago.
I was thrilled to see an adult drop in Ballet class on Mondays! They offered the first class for free and I went last week to check it out.
It was so fun to participate that I decided to go back today. The teacher is amazing and the people in the class were so friendly. I came home today feeling quite triumphant.
The VIA Bus service were able to handle my electric wheelchair with no problems and my oxygen concentrator kept me saturated with oxygen as I worked at the bar and rode on the bus.
I spent the second half of the class observing from my chair as the dancers did passes and a bit of choreography and line work. My teacher encouraged me to do arm work while seated and it was nice to feel her confidence in me as my energy quickly waned.
A ninety minute class is definitely stretching my endurance, but it was so worth the effort!
I feel so happy with Ballet Class and Classical Music Endorphins flooding my Brain!
