As I recall, they wore animal costumes for the recital dance. They enjoyed it, but they found their real love when she did soccer for one year.<br /><br />There's a pretty good dance school down the street from where I work that does adult ballet lessons. I've been thinking of giving that a try.Joni Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03788863220407115609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-46623667786684887602013-03-02T06:48:13.688-05:002013-03-02T06:48:13.688-05:00The girls in my elementary school classes would go...The girls in my elementary school classes would go to ballet across the street after school. I remember the day of classes they would all being wearing their leotards. I would be so jealous. I remember walking by the school wishing I was in there with them........Paula_56https://www.blogger.com/profile/09762340959679940655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3372432081562643074.post-75495263003636016702013-03-01T11:56:51.137-05:002013-03-01T11:56:51.137-05:00Back in the 60s, due to family finances my folks r...Back in the 60s, due to family finances my folks rented out our den to a guy who ran a music school. One day he would be there giving piano and accordion lessons, another guy would come and give guitar lessons. One afternoon/evening a week Carol would come to give dance lessons. Carol was a beautiful girl in her twenties who was always dressed in a coctail dress and heels, she wore beautiful heavy makeup and emitted an intoxicating aroma of perfume, makeup and hairspray. She taught adults as well as children. I would love to watch her and sometimes she would invite me to join her classes to serve as a partner to the girls.<br />She would always arrive wearing the pointed toed pumps of the era but would change to ballet flats for lessons. I remember trying on her pumps.<br />Thank you for this post and allowing me to conjur up some memories from my own youth.<br />Patscalesmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07405121500560615820noreply@blogger.com
