These are my adult ballet students who are mostly all late starters with very limited training and natural ability. They love ballet dancing and are doing the best they can. I'm now 89 years old and have been teaching since 1972. (GOOGLE me) These adult babies challenge my teaching abilities and make me work very hard explaining ballet technique. I love creating exercises for them!
