Why say such a thing when she has no idea of the situation? She didn't even stop to consider that maybe it was your daughter who asked to attend ballet class?<br /><br />I took ballet for a couple of years. (and, yes, I asked to attend) Not only was it a lot of fun, it also taught poise, good posture, and fitness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458386407321265229.post-87336097874761662842009-11-20T11:08:46.818+11:002009-11-20T11:08:46.818+11:00I am stunned at people's assumptions this is w...I am stunned at people's assumptions this is why I just can't mix with the mums at school, I never have because of this kind of crap.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458386407321265229.post-82715708839174945782009-11-20T00:01:04.698+11:002009-11-20T00:01:04.698+11:00what a great idea to take up ballet for fitness an...what a great idea to take up ballet for fitness and posture! so much more glamourous than the gym, and the clothes are better! please keep us posted on your new regime.pinryhttp://pinry.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458386407321265229.post-60311581280063394922009-11-19T08:02:51.774+11:002009-11-19T08:02:51.774+11:00I took ballet when I was little.

I loved ballet much more than golf or tennis. I had no talent but I had plenty of passion for it. I love seeing little girls in ballet class. There is almost nothing cuter.xoxoLa Belette Rougehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05686717070120116918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458386407321265229.post-49141098662273865722009-11-19T03:21:39.384+11:002009-11-19T03:21:39.384+11:00Aw!

I would recommend it totally to all little girls. tho i would perhaps halt at going onto point work as it can damage the feet so.<br />i imagine your daughter is inheriting your grace inside and out,<br />Kat xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506097242630013019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458386407321265229.post-77184663097079116282009-11-18T23:33:33.464+11:002009-11-18T23:33:33.464+11:00I've always longed to study ballet as a child ...I've always longed to study ballet as a child but never had the chance to!

My gymnastics posture kept affecting my ballet posture so I opted for swinging from one bar to another instead of doing ballet!<br /><br />How funny that the Mother would come up with such a remark! It is true that there are Mothers out there who will push the daughter but it's wrong to assume that all are like that.<br /><br />What a good idea you having another go at it!<br />I can see myself sticking to brisk walking to keep my weight down ;-))<br /><br />Take care<br /><br />Isabelle xSuzy's Vintage Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355297827117557882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458386407321265229.post-30596280558671592792009-11-18T15:48:52.071+11:002009-11-18T15:48:52.071+11:00Simone, see how Charli feels next year.

I am still undecided whether or not to start my daughter next year or not, she keeps saying she doesn't want to do ballet ( a 4 year old mind you!). So I guess I won't push it. But it just taught me so much - and gave me skills like confidence etc. Valuable stuff later in life.beachvintage.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16075401950286198394noreply@blogger.com
