My Very First Ballet Lessons!

I am so happy today! Finally, I plucked up the courage to go for my very first ballet lessons!

Today I deliberately left early from tuition at 6 in order to make it in time for ballet. I needed to turn up early to hand in the fees. However, I only took like 30 mins to get from henderson crescent to tanjong pagar! So I reached like half an hour early, and the office and studio were empty. I felt darn lonely, thus have to call mr tam, who gave me nothing but courage and strength to face new people and new dance genre. But luckily I was able to identify the teacher(from the last time that she came out to ask me and jiawen are we students).

Then went in to the studio. It was a very small class with only around 8 people. We are all very new to ballet, so I was less stressful. My teacher really started from the very basics, which I entirely enjoy as I finally know what are the important things to take note of when I do my ji ben gong. And I can also work on my pirouettes, by doing quarter and half turns before doind a single turn. Actually everything that we did are quite similar to Laoshi's, just more simple and more well-explained. I finally know like what are the different positions of the hand and the legs. And my teacher also corrected my posture(I arched my back too much).

I entirely love the class and I am definitely going back for more. Next on my wishlist, ballet tights and new leotards!
