Today I went to an aerial hoop class, yoga class and a hip hop dance class. I feel amazing. So proud of myself.

Just work tomorrow then on Monday I have ballet and then musical theatre rehearsal. Tuesday I have 2 ballet classes. Wednesday I have tap and jazz, Friday I have drama and Saturday I have ice skating, aerial hoop and hip hop dance again!

This week has gone so well.

Monday I had my grade 2 ballet class and I did an 'almost perfect glissade'.

Tuesday I had grade 2 ballet again and I definitely feel I've improved since last week.

Wednesday I had tap followed by jazz / musical theatre dance. So excited about the music choices for the performance in April. I love tap so much.

Thursday and Friday unfortunately I was working in the evenings this week.

Saturday (today) I started a brand new hip hop dance class. I'm so excited about this class because we are learning new choreography every week. This is so refreshing to me. It will also be a challenge as I'm slow at picking up choreography. I am really hoping I will improve at this!

Will taking multiple dance classes help me improve my ability to learn and remember choreography? Will it benefit my dancing in other ways?

Tomorrow I am planning on going to a barre class in the morning and then aerial hoop in the evening.

I'm not sure if this is a cool schedule or if I am crazy trying to do so many activities but this is what I am aiming for and I will see how it goes. I really want to improve my confidence as well as my fitness and dance abilities. Does anyone else have schedules like this? I think it might be a way of coping with my mental health. I do take rest days when it gets too much.

So excited about the new dance term starting up and wearing my new dance merch. Have two dance school hoodies from the school where I do ballet in blue and purple, a t shirt from the studio where I do stretch and a t shirt and hoodie on the way for the other dance company I'm going to for tap.

Tap shoes, jazz shoes, character shoes, canvas ballet shoes and satin ballet shoes.

This is the schedule I'm considering. I really want to improve and excel in ballet so that I get a good result in my bbo dance grade 2 exam and my character exam. I am thinking about adding an extra ballet class on Thursday. I am worried about taking on too much. I work 30 hours per week. This seems like an ambitious schedule. Should I just go for it? I also really want to lose weight and get fitter as well.

Arabesque goals

[veganathleteballerina]

I did three hours of ballet this evening. One hour of bbodance grade 2, then grade 2/3 then 30 mins of character then 30 minutes of pointe prep. I'm so tired. If I keep doing this will I improve?
