I take adult ballet classes at InStudio I was lucky enough to take some classes a couple of years ago at The National Ballet Of Canada . Ballet is hard very very hard . But I feel a little sense of freedom and relaxation when I practice ballet I have only been taking Adult beginner ballet classes for 4 years . I take adult ballet classes at Zoom Canadas National Ballet School with Robert McCollum I actually have a live zoom class tomorrow through Canada’s National Ballet School . I would love to see swan lake but I can’t afford the t some of the ticket prices 😔such a beautiful ballet
