Despite gaining a lot of weight since the days when I danced every day at school and into college, I'm actually still really flexible. Sometimes when I'm bored I put some hip-hop on and mess about with some moves. Not to say I've not had some really bad injuries from dancing. Because yeah, I really feel it in my back which has been abused quite badly over the years which ill-timed turns and the like. Not to mention my poor feet...pointe shoes are just torture devices.

The worst thing about being an adult and non-pro is finding classes that aren't full of teenie-weenies who think they are hot shit. I could say the same of classes of my other love - martial arts. If I really want to do it though, I just ignore. It's like the gym - I'm there for my own benefit, not to worry about the uber-thin, super-fit person next to me who runs 10 miles on the treadmill.
