   I have always been desperate to do ballet even as a little girl, but sadly it wasn't possible for a number of reasons. After some life events, I decided I wanted to push myself and finally try out adult ballet. I was really nervous as I have no experience with dance whatsoever, and I was not an active person by any means - in fact, I actively disliked being active...! I started with one class a week, and although hard, I completely fell in love with it. The physical benefits are one thing, but I have found the positive benefits on my mental health are a astronomical. For a few hours a week, I spend time focusing on my body, how I'm holding myself, thinking of nothing but pushing through, and digging out every last piece of determination I have (and then some more!) to keep going. I now engage in multiple classes a week, and have set personal goals to reach within ballet to help give me that boost. I can say for someone who used to hide in cupboard when it was time for PE in school - I cannot believe the enjoyment, love and passion for what can be such a difficult hobby. If anyone is considering taking up ballet as an adult - whether you have no experience or some - I would absolutely encourage you to do so. This has been pretty game-changing for me, and I have loved every second. I look forward to many more years (hopefully!) of learning and developing and meeting all those goals I have set with the help of this school and all the lovely teachers within it! :-)
