  • @Laukinegele I am quite astonished about how you feel you can come and critise these ladies. They do one 50 minute ballet class a week. They were given the opportunity to dance in the end of year show and out of 32 ladies, only THESE brave few had the confidence to join in because of people like you!!!

    I think it's wonderful that they can express themselves in this way. Who cares if they're not the best dancers around? They do it because they LOVE it and that trumps anything you have to say!

  • I have been doing ballet for 14yrs now. If everyone push through their legs into a complete point and keep there knees straight it would improve a LOT, bcz it looks like they are just brushing though the motions instead putting the full extent into it.

  • These ladies have only been doing ballet for 9 months and this was there first peformance piece AND first time doing it altogether so I say hats off to them! They were brilliant!

  • @maced2x I'm going back into ballet afte 19 years out of dance. I'm not that old. 28. But I don't plan on going back just for some sort of leisure activity type hobby. I plan on pushing myself and learning the technique and seeing where it takes me. If nothing comes out of it at least I can say I tried and had fun. I can't wait to see what my recital is going to be like. For the only 2 recitals i've ever been in I was a flower. I hope ina few levels I can go en pointe.

  • POINT YOUR FEET!!!!!! ahhhhh!!!!! its driving me crazy!!!!! good show though :D

    

  • Very nice job ladies! As for the nay-sayers on here, I'm sure these ladies are well aware of what they need to work on, and performing may not come naturally to them. Who knows, maybe some of these ladies never performed on stage, or in front of an audience before, so it takes A LOT of courage to do it.

  • they cant do balences looll

  • The woman and her dogs made me laugh until i cried!

  • I think for adults because your muscles are set and it is harder to turnout and stuff these ladies were wonderful especially for only 9 months.

  • As an adult you have a lot more control over your body, that makes it easier to learn certain techniques. These ladies aren't perfect, but I think they are doing a wonderful job. What's wrong with having fun one hour a week?

  • good job ladies. U r so wonderful to watch. I am seriously considering doing adult ballet. thanks for showing me how great it could be.

  • First time doing it ever?! Yeah I'd say give them a break. It's harder to start as an adult so you have to give them credit to be brave enough to go out there. I'm proud of them.

  • I like this. Sometimes when you've been dancing just a short while, and started as an adult, it's hard to apply what you learned in class to actual choreography because it feels so unnatural. Hat's off to them, and obviously they are enjoying it. That's what dance is all about for an adult.
