A Universal Language

I went to a ballet class last night. Hannah invited me, and we biked over. It was amazing. I love ballet. Just going, connecting my brain and my body, listening to the beautiful music, my muscles somewhat reluctantly remembering what they are supposed to do.

The great thing about ballet is that it is almost completely universal. Even though I don’t speak German or French, it doesn’t matter. The words are all the same, the combinations are all the same, even the corrections given by the teacher are the same. “Stand up straight, listen to the music, keep your knee up in passe.” It was all the same, and it was all beautiful.

I need dance, and I’m so grateful I could find it here.
