Guest AmyLiz008 Posted April 6, 2004 Report Share Posted April 6, 2004 I was just now sewing the ribbons onto my new pointe shoes, and noticed that my hand was shaking. I thought about my shaking hand, and realized that my heart was racing and I had butterflies in my stomach as well. All these feelings were intensified when I thought about my pointe class in half an hour. I'm a relative newbie at pointe work, but still, I didn't think I would react this way being all grown up! It's like starting ballet classes over from the very beginning. I feel like a kid again! I just wanted to share this wonderful feeling with everyone. Quote Link to comment
Clara 76 Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 It's wonderful to be associated with a profession that brings such joy to people...even if it's only temporary! Clara Quote Link to comment
Sulan Posted April 8, 2004 Report Share Posted April 8, 2004 I know just how you feel... one of my proudest moments of my adult life was that first releve en pointe. I was especially proud given the number of people who said that since I started ballet at the ripe old age of 23, I'd never be able to do it! Quote Link to comment
antbobby Posted April 18, 2004 Report Share Posted April 18, 2004 I can so relate... I was shaking and all silly the day I went into the dance shop and bought my first pair of pointes. I was so worried that they would laugh me out the door. The best part was that I had my photo taken and put in their book of "first pointe shoe purchase" photo album. I put on a red feather boa. 47 is a rough year to buy your shoes, I'm still amazed. Quote Link to comment
