Dancing Poppies

🩰 Real adult ballet. Real life. Real women finding their rhythm.
🌸 Welcome to Dancing Poppies! 🌸

Hey, I’m Kari—graphic designer, mom of 3, wife to a very patient man, and a 30s ballet newbie who thought starting pointe work sounded like a great idea (midlife crisis? Maybe. But make it sparkly).

Dancing Poppies is my real, slightly wobbly journey from zero experience to pointe shoes—served with a side of sarcasm, mom-life chaos, creative passion, and encouragement for anyone trying to dance through the madness of adulting.

Come for the pliés, stay for the real talk (and occasional graceful-ish faceplant).
