Ballet

Studied most of my life. Pointe work is a favorite of mine. Practiced daily til we found it necessary to deal with cavil. At that time, all studios closed, in addition to everything else closing. It was a challenge to practice in the kitchen, My ballet barre is in the livingroom. But Im practicing again, back at the barre. Working hard seems to cleanse the soul. Seems Im truly happiest when Im dressed in my pretty pink pointe shoes, and at that moment, Im not just dancing, but I then become a beautiful prima ballerina .
