My Experience of Ballet

Hi!! I'm going to talk about my experience of ballet.
When I was eight years old, I started to take a ballet lesson.
I have took it for six years.
This experience is very important and valuable for me, because it changed my mind.
But, I wasn't interested in a ballet or classical music at all, and I didn't like a skirt which is like a ballerina tutu.
The reason why I started to take the ballet lesson was just that my mother wanted me to take it.

The lessons were so hard. When a public performance was coming, I had the lesson everyday.
Usually, I practiced more than five hours in the lesson.
I didn't like dancing with toe shoes because the shoes are painful.
Although it looks beutiful, actually, my nails of each toe used to be peeled because of the toe shoes.
I think the reason why I could keep taking the hard ballet lesson for six years is that I got a big sense of  achievement surely after public performances finished.
I really liked the public performences. I really enjoyed dancing while I was dancing on the stage.
I have danced some kinds of dance through my ballet lesson.
They were classical ballet, jazz, music of musicals and Michel Jackson!
I wasn't interested in them at the time, but I like all of them now!
So, I'm happy to expand my interests:)

And, my teacher was very influential to me.
She was a member of Japanese famous theatrical company when she was young.
she was very strict about dance. I was scoled by her many times.
I didn't like her...but she told her students about not only dance but also other important things in life.
I respect her now. I learned various things by listening to her experiences.

So, this experience of the ballt lesson was the most exciting experience in my life:)))
If I have a child in the future, I want her to take a ballet lesson!
