Audrey Hepburn loved her ballet classes.
I feel a need to expound the virtues of adult ballet classes.
Better posture. You will feel confident in your swim suits, class presentations, and when you ask for that promotion.
More flexibility. Did you know that tight muscles equate to weakened muscles? Be strong!
Bring out your inner graceful ballerina. We all have one needing to get out and love life.
Miss Hepburn, enjoying her great posture, strong muscles, and love of life. image
For all you secret ballerinas needing to get out look up local studios and sign up for an adult ballet class. Reap its benefits and discover the pure joy that comes from dance.

Ooh, I love everything about this post.
What a gorgeous picture of Audrey (and how lively and passionate she looked in Funny Face! :)
I so want to take an adult ballet class now!! Definitely going to be signing up when I'm more settled for one...
And I love that quote, too. It can be intimidating to dance when there are so many great dancers out there, but this quote is good to remember :)
(See? Loved everything about this post!!! :)
Hm, not sure I could still pull off a leotard. Scary thought! But if I had the money, it would still be great fun.
I have allllllllways wanted to do this!!
I really want to take a ballet class in the fall or something. Where do you take ballet??? I just want a good teacher!
i think those that get up and dance get more out of life! i am not a good dancer, but i shouldn't let that deter me!
Oh sigh for Audrey. I've never taken dance or ballet (thanks a lot Mom), but I should, shouldn't I :)
Loving the idea! Probably can't come up with much grace, but all the more passion.
I love this post and have to agree! My old roommate and I took a beginner's ballet class and loved it! We came back feeling so refreshed and rejuvenated and it was the most basic entry level class. This inspires me to take another class..
I used to do ballet! I definitely want to get back into it..my posture needs it :)
Ergh, I should really take up ballet classes (I'm so paranoid about my ever-prevalent hunchback its not even funny!), but I have the co-ordination of a duck. I think I'll stick to my yoga for the time being!

I so wish I could take a dance class. I never did. I was always a volleyball player growing up. I'd love to do something that makes me flexible and in shape not bulging leg muscle crazy like I was. Plus I just think it'd be a great release.

i wouldve loved to take ballet withadurey.
my two favorite things, dance and her.<3
i love that quote too. its beautiful && true.
i have always wanted to take a dance class... kiwi and i are going to sign up for salsa lessons!
I've been told i slouch when i walk...
Once again lovely images, adore Audrey!
I could so use that extra flexibility! They have a beginners and an intermediate ballet class at my school. I don't think I'm a beginner in terms of knowledge but I may be at this point given my flexibility. I'll have to email the teacher and ask. Thanks for doing this post, Tiffany. You're so wonderfully encouraging.
I adore Audrey Hepburn. I always wanted to take ballet classes but it never happened. I could use the help with the posture.
how did you know I signed up this morning?
Class starts the middle of June. Half of me is so excited. The other half wants to yell, HELP!!!!!!!!!!
I love Audrey... and yes i love to dance and try to do it all the time!
Fantastic quote from Martha Graham.... although I'm not quite sure I believe it coming from her! :)
Hi:)
My first time visiting..but i loved it..and now i am a follower:)
Have a great day - SP
beautiful post. i don't know if this qualifies as "adult ballet" but i've signed up to take ballet technique I (you have to start somewhere, right?) as a half-credit course at my university next year. i couldn't be more excited! pretty blog!
love everything about her x
to tell you the truth this has always been on my mind. I was a ballerina when young and would just love to get back to it... for all your reasons. you just gave me a shot of encouragement ;)
Oh, you don't have to sell me on adult ballet classes. I've wanted to sign up for one for ages; I really need to make time to actually do so!
And in regards to game show theme songs...you could not be more right. My favorite one to dance to is "The Price Is Right." There's something so enticing about the "doo doo doo doo, doo doo doo do do do..." that makes me want to get up and move! :)
LOVE ballet! <3 love your blog!
xoxo
You totally inspire me! I just might have to try one now. =)
What are the modern alternatives to leotards and tights? (I'm not too anxious to get into those right now.)
I am telling you this is all worth it if it gives better posture! It is STILL the one thing I am CONSTANTLY trying to work on. Definitely trying to get back into more calming exercise like yoga and pilates for this reason.
One of my fav actresses from yester years.
By the way my CD (Roman Holiday) is missing. Wonder whom I loaned it to.
I totally did this, I got divorced and made a list of things i wanted to accomplish in the next year and my sister joined an adult ballet class with me! First one ever!
I LOVED IT
i miss dance! i used to take jazz and tap. this post has inspired me to look for my dance shoes and find an adult class to take. dance is always a fun workout!
Do it!!! I love my adult ballet class, such an antidote to working life. For a few hours a week I get to go and dance and forget my real life: it really is the only 'exercise' (I put that in inverted commas because I don't do it for exercise purposes) that I enjoy and it has the wonderful benefits of being really quite meditative. You don't have time to think about the bad things when you're concentrating on turn out, posture, pulling up that supporting leg, watching your arms don't go too far back...
I completely support dancing branflake's advice! Do adult ballet. I've just booked myself onto a summer school for adults and I can't wait!
