Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!


When I saw the challenge for this week it brought back so many fond childhood memories! I took ballet lessons at the Ethyl Battin Dance Academy for 13 years, from age 3 to age 16.  I also took modern jazz for 3 years, from age 14 to age 16.
Our ballet classes were taught to live piano accompaniment which was an important element in developing the students understanding of the relationship between music and body movement. I still remember the pianist name … Naomi.
I also remember receiving frequent (positive) corrections. Ms. Battin’s students were verbally and/or physically guided to ensure proper body alignment and body placement.  And then all that practicing and memorizing all those steps!

Even though my path did not lead me to a career in dance, I did develop: good posture, self-motivation, self-discipline, poise, grace and my appreciation for the arts. Oh and my best asset … my legs … thank you Ms. Battin!

It was only fitting to let my ballet lessons inspire my card:
