My years of ballet and jazz dance lessons didn't make me any more graceful - they just helped keep me from bumping into the furniture on stage.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up studying dance, taking ballet lessons.
I've studied dance since I was very young, and I continue to study ballet.
I started taking ballet lessons when I was three and a half and I still take dance classes.
I was serious about ballet for a long time, but my mom got me into tap and jazz and modern and hip-hop, and I was one of those over-lessoned children.
I was sent to ballet classes when I was a little girl. I wasn't very good, but it's that thing where little girls always try ballet, or whatever.
At school I used to avoid dance lessons. They were the worst.
Dancing is a tough career, but I'm glad I spent it at the Royal Ballet.
Ballet really taught me so much about the power of movement.
I took several years of dance lessons that included ballet, tap and jazz. They helped a great deal with body control, balance, a sense of rhythm, and timing.
As an adult, I took ballet classes three times a week, and I believed it gave me better posture, a stronger body, and made me more graceful.
