Ballet

Ballet speaks to me, though I've done very little of it.

I've danced in two nutcrackers: 2023 and 2025. Both times I've been at a funny point in my life: either in the process of moving across the country to renovate a school bus about a full hour from civilization, or actively living in the bus in an empty lot in town. I haven't been able to deticate nearly as much as I'd like.

I feel as though every time I take a ballet class I learn so much. My dream is to platau: to reach a point at which I feel as though I would require significantly more effort to improve only incrementally.
