My new journey as dancer started taking ballet for the first time at almost 38 years old. The class is me stepping out of my comfort zone since I did not know what to expect I was excited and nervous. Basic ballet is full of techniques the opposite I am used to dancing.

My goal was for the first week to attend all 3 classes ballet, hip-hop and zumba. But after ballet, I ended exhausted and took me 2 days to recover. I really don’t have the energy as in my party days to party multiple days.

But all I can do is at least show up to 2 classes next week. This week was my first week and only did the first class which was ballet.

My goal is to be physically active and in community. I was lucky enough to be provided this classes for free and all I can do is take advantage of it. I am having a slow start but it is just the beginning. I will keep you posted on how I progress during the year. Because of mental illness and medication I do not have the same energy and resistance as before but hopefully I can recover some of the energy through dance classes. Dancing is a part of me, that I miss a lot. So let’s see where this new journey will take me.
