I just wanted a full schedule. I see Level 1 is 2 days a week with 4 kinds of classes. It doesn't say anything else about it.
Level 2 might be good since it has pre-point and I used to take pointe class since I'd started at 16-17.
Level 3 would be fine, but when I stopped to catch up on sleep and exercise in other ways I was in level 4, though no I'm not incredibly thin yet. I think I'd like level 2 or 3.
As to looking at level 4, it looks more exciting, but I probably wouldn't go beyond that. I mean, I see it includes Pilates and Character but no Tap.. The last levels, 5 and 6, look too high. I thought they'd also want to assimulate my age into a higher group and consider that I've done some ballet from age 12-21. If you must know my age, it's 27. I've went and done a little gymnastics since then, too, but not much. I find I can still dance when I've taken a warm-up class.
I am aware of your program for adults who have never done ballet and who can pick up fast on dance moves maybe because they did modern dancing. I really don't like that program for me, so if you want me to do that I am not interested. I was in your regular program with the levels when I was 21 but quit because I needed to catch up on sleep. I tried to go back and it was hard but think I may be ready again if I can go back to like level 4 or even if I'm bumped down to level 2 or 3. I'm not fat fat. I'll send you a picture of me when I was in school in the past 2 years.. Well, I found this video: http://youtu.be/jM0MhZV32-8. I'm maybe a bit less in shape or active, but that seems to be about the same size. I just stopped taking body pictures and would have to get on my makeup and everything. But that was only last year, so it looks like I could take ballet. My only problem honestly is memorizing. I am fine, otherwise. I was also looking for a gymnastics program, but they all have insurance issues with people over 18. So, I dunno. The only other thing I wonder is if I took adult ballet in the summer or rest of this year if I could get placed with the kids in the fall. Honestly, still, I don't have any problems that need fixed especially but wanted to wait until a new year started because you wouldn't be rehearsing. I mean in regards to taking adult ballet 1st. I'm pretty accurate and just forgetful, and I know adult classes are more for people who remember easily rather than have perfect technique and that kids classes are more friendly with memorization but like me strict with technique. It's interesting it works out. What I'm doing now is I just had my 1st Disney pass and I sing on my own at home. I'm gonna take singing in the summer if I can from a teacher who is only available then. I know some dance and gym schools offer music. I know I'm too late anyway for summer intensive.
If not, I may try Valencia, though I am not interested in so much modern dance.. I've been there. I'd prefer to go to your school, it has more ballet and "The Nutcracker."
If you want I can come in so you can place me, though, despite my age. I still look like I'm 20, I think. I'll be 28 in May. My goal is to be a pro singer, dancer, and actor, or something like that.
If you say no, I wonder if later the rules may change or something or whatever the reason would be I couldn't. I mean, I am still 27 and look pretty young. Should I jump in a class now? Or make sure I take it in the summer? I guess as adult ballet until the fall comes and I can take it with the kids since I missed summer intensive auditions.
Thank you so much. :) I hope the answer is yes. Please help me to get back in ballet! They let me in the kids class when I was 21. I was in the teen class, and sometimes we'd combine, I was 20, and then I signed up for the regular program with the kids the next year. So, maybe after some adult classes, by this fall I can enter with the kids. I was hoping I could do it now since I did it before in my 20s. I know there was a boy who was 28 in the teen class and in the Nutcracker, so I expect to be allowed. :) So, please help me and thank you, so much! I believe in your school over the Valencia program! I am guessing you want me to come in to see, like Orlando Ballet did a long time ago. They did not want me to come back because it didn't seem right for me. There were lots of teens and they seemed to know the drill, though at your school I didn't have that kind of problem. I would be allowed back if I improved, but they said to go to Valencia. They just said it was a kid thing and they didn't have time to help me and were dedicated to the kids, giving them even extra time after class. If I can't go here, I may try again there. I hope you allow me to return. I'm going to ask all the schools that will answer, just in case I don't get in 1. After Orlando Ballet didn't let me go, I went back to Interlochen for adults which also did a recital, your teen program, and the adult Orlando Ballet class, which was fun but hard to keep up in. I have lost fat and gained muscle since trying to do Orlando Ballet. I was hoping doing the ballet would make me thinner, along with jogging and weight training, which it did. Just a little can go a long way, eventually.
Thank you so much for listening to me, and I guess I will wait for your response, hope you will let me come in and try. :) Thanks!
Sincerely,
Christina Barrett
