Happy Tuesday All, Are you a good dancer? Or do you just freelance? When I was younger I took ballet, tap, and jazz for several years. I never danced en pointe in ballet, but I did enjoy it. Growing up, I felt sort of awkward, and sometimes a bit on the klutzy side. Ballet made me feel graceful and beautiful. I wasn't very good at tap or jazz, but some of it was fun. Fountain in Frankenmuth, Michigan Nowadays I'm not doing too many arabesques, shuffle-ball-changes, or shimmying my way across the floor. Usually I have one of my offspring with me and I dance around the room with them (while they giggle incessantly--generally with me, thank goodness!) Sometimes I turn on country music and try to 2-step around the living room. Other times, I turn on children's songs, or rock n roll, sometimes folk-rock. Music is always a good way to boost your mood, and dancing can be fun (and good exercise, too!) When you want to "cut a rug" what do you do? ...

Happy Tuesday Everyone, How do you feel about ballet? Growing up, I took ballet lessons (on my demi pointes ) for a few years. I wasn't great at it, but at the time I could pirouette pretty well. Anyway, it was fun while it lasted--first time in my life I felt truly graceful. I've also seen a number of professional ballets over the years:  Swan Lake, Coppelia, Giselle, The Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Romeo & Juliet and one where there was different kinds of ballets. So, do you like ballet? If you've watched/enjoyed ballet, which ones have you seen? Have A Thrilling Tuesday!
