If I Turn Right 3x...I Can Make a Left Turn.

If I knew putting all your weight on four toes was going to be this crazy…I still would have signed up for ballet pointe classes. My first day at Alvin Ailey was crazy, fun and totally nothing of what I expected. I imagined beginner techniques and work out. But we had already began learning routines. In the end it was great because now I have something to go home and practice, but balance, calf and ankle strength is so very important.

Actual pointe classes, especially at The Alvin Ailey school is serious and a bit of a mind phuk. I did really well in my turns…except for the left though. Turning left is hard…but I will master it, very soon.
