Beginner. 4hours per week.

[Lund]

Hi,

I have been reading some posts on the forum, and it souns like it's not good for a person starting ballet to take a lot of classes per week.

The teacher told me i could come 3 times for a total of 4 hours in different goupes.

Another queeston was: My muscles never hurt, is that normal? Maybe because i'm already fit from other sports (grasshockey, jogging, ...)

Thanks. Lund

 

P.S. Sorry for the spelling mistakes.

Hello, Lund, and welcome to Ballet Talk for Dancers.

 

It sounds as if you are being introduced carefully to ballet, and don't worry about a lack of pain. That's a good thing! Properly taught, ballet may cause a little muscular discomfort from unfamiliar usage, but nothing like actual PAIN! Pain is a sign that there's something wrong, and you will learn over time what pains are harmless, and which ones can be a sign of real trouble, but since you aren't having trouble, let's not borrow any. Your beginning level of activity sounds quite reasonable.
