Thank you. If anyone has attended would it matter if firstly, I didn't feel very confident and secondly it might take me a few runs through to pick up the choreography?

Hi everyone,

Long time lurker/admirer, first time poster!

I have been taking studio-based ballet since August (was previously taking a kind of cardio-ballet-fitness fusion which I was basically advised to stop by my ballet teacher as it was compromising my turnout.)

My current schedule looks like this:

Wednesday: Grade 6 RAD class with character/free movement followed by an open, non-syllabus class for adults (roughly grade 5 level- I may add se very basic pointe work in the summer) (2 hours, 45 minutes without pointe)

Friday: Intermediate class (1 1/2 hours)

Time and family commitments pending (so... rarely!) I also attend a more advanced (grade 7/8 level) non-syllabus class on a Saturday morning too.

In addition I also take a West End Jazz class on a Tuesday. I try to keep pretty fit by practicing ballet at home and yoga too.

I am much more comfortable at the barre than in the centre. I'm doing my very best to improve my ballet/dance in general. I plan to take more classes during school holidays (I am a teacher so have more free time then.) In the center I feel very wobbly and have a hard time remembering steps.

Is it realistic that I will be of a good enough standard to attend London Amateur Ballet's weekend intensive in October?

Thanks,

Becky

Hi Rachael,
