Ballerina Dreams

As a child, I loathed ballet for the simple reason that all the little girls at school who did ballet seemed very snotty.  I was never exposed to a live ballet until about the age of 15, when I went to see The Nutcracker with my family and discovered what magic the Ballet really is.  But by then, I felt I was too old to learn.  Now I'm not really ashamed to be in a beginner class, at least just for the fun of it.  According to Style.com  "Mary Helen Bowers—former ballerina and the woman responsible for Natalie Portman’s lithe figure in Black Swan—is now available whenever and wherever you are"  in an online ballet class. "The live feed works by syncing with a participant’s Skype account; you can choose to set up a private session or go for the group class, which can include up to 12 people."  Seeing as she's a famous person, its probably tres expensive but look at how pretty she is!  I could settle for an adult class at a local studio though.     
Ballets I've seen so far:  The Nutcracker and Onegin.  I need to collect more!  Does The Red Shoes count?
