“I’d love to try ballet… but I’m not flexible enough.” 🩰
This is something I hear quite often from adults thinking about starting ballet.
But you don’t need to be flexible to start.
Flexibility is something we work on, not something you need to arrive with.
The same goes for balance, strength, coordination and turnout. You aren't expected to already have all of those things before walking into your first class, developing them is part of the training.
And no, you don’t need to be able to touch your toes, get your leg up by your ear or do the splits!
Adult Ballet at Fresh Silhouette is about gradually developing your technique and understanding how your own body moves.
Some things will come more easily than others. Some will take time. That's completely normal.
So if you've ever looked at a ballet class and thought “I'd love to do that, but I'm nowhere near flexible enough”…
You don't need to get flexible first.
You just need to start. 🩰
Learn. Improve. Enjoy.
