Xena Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 I find these fun sometimes....Maybe these could be due to my ballet training or maybe not....?? I think it's because of ballet that........When I go to try out a new kickboxing class, the teacher thinks I've been doing kickboxing for years, when its my first class...very weird. I think it's because of ballet that....I am able to remember long combinations of step/movements and as such when I started Tai Chi, no body there believed I had never done Tai Chi before and it took ages for me to convince them. I think it's because of ballet that.. when I have only been to three lessons of pilates, the teacher starts giving me the advanced exercises...gulp. Quote Link to comment

Susanne Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 I think it is because ballet that...I can wear my very heavy backpacks (laptop, books and a binder). Ballet gave me posture and not to overload my poor back, but to use my abs instead Quote Link to comment

Hans Posted October 3, 2003 Report Share Posted October 3, 2003 I think it is because of ballet that: My calves are the strongest muscles in my body. I drink water as if I lived in the Sahara. I take three showers a day. I can beat my legs together three times in the air but cannot walk to class without tripping over something. Quote Link to comment
carbro Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 I can beat my legs together three times in the air but cannot walk to class without tripping over something. A friend of mine, former NYCB dancer, told me that as a child she was never clumsy until she became serious about studying ballet. From that point on, she was always bumping into the furniture! That's something I've done with or without ballet. At a wedding some years ago, the bride's parents arranged to have folk dance lessons. I thought it a great idea. My ballet-studying cousin (adult beginner) had trouble catching on to a step until I translated into ballet: step, step, pas de bouree. Aha! Similarly, at my recent __ th high school reunion, old classmates were impressed with how quickly I caught on to The Shag. Ballet. Quote Link to comment

I think it's because of ballet that I don't bring my face down to the plate when I'm eating in restaurants. I think it's because of ballet that I'd never think of wearing my hair anything but long. I think it's because of ballet that the smell of sweat doesn't bother me. I think it's because of ballet that I prefer quickly digestible food -- e.g., yogurt, smoothies, etc. I think it's because of ballet that I totally disregard those insurance company weight charts. I think it's because of ballet that I wear flat-heeled shoes with wide toe boxes (fashion stops at the ankle). I think it's because of ballet that I have never been a late night party girl. I think it's because of ballet that I have a bawdy, locker room sense of humor. Quote Link to comment

Jaana Heino Posted October 4, 2003 Report Share Posted October 4, 2003 I think it's because of ballet that ... a friend recently complimented me on my straight upper body, which I had no idea I possessed. I think it's because of ballet that ... when I got really frustrated in acrobatics class I was able to smile through the rest of the class, keep on trying, and even chat in the dress room, and only collapsed in tears when back in the car.

I've learned to plan my days in the morning, as to what to take with me, what to do at work at which time, and when to leave, instead of just drifting through the day. Quote Link to comment
