You need to give up the Yoga mate
Not because of the back thing, but because it makes you a poof.

I've done Yoga
It's fucking difficult. FUCKING difficult. Almost as hard as Ballet.

I've heard something before that a 2 hour ballet performance is equivalent to running a marathon in terms of how much strain it puts on your body.

Wouldn't surprise me
The strength in your core muscles required to do it properly - professionally - must be extraordinary

I went out with a dancer years ago
She twisted her ankle the night before a ballet exam, managed to struggle through it, but didn't rest properly afterwards, and as a result had to give up dancing completely, because the twisting of it, followed by the performance had fucked her ankle.

Nasty
I can't imagine giving up dancing. Ms Foxtrot would have little to no use for me, apart from anything else
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:27, Reply)

Aye, she was absolutely fucking gutted
I don't think it helps that she didn't remember the injury either, due to being pissed.

However, that made no difference, no way in hell she could have seen the dip in the garden, even if she was sober.

Was it a trench you dug?
Was it full of your poo?

No, it was a house party at a friend's house, who had a massive garden
She was running towards the house for some reason, and landed with one leg quite heavily in a small dip in the garden, but enough to tweak her knee, and twist her ankle. She was in agony, but I was quite pissed, and unsure what was going on.

Monty Propps from board has something bordering on an obsession with this image
I think he's edited it several times, but the best one was where he substituted the bottle for a teapot, and the glass for a mug of tea.

Simple, yet amusing.

Ballet is fun, from memory.
mind you, I did the little kids version so maybe it gets less fun the older you get!
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:16, Reply)

Judging by my experience
if you've done Ballet, or gymnastics, or anything which grants you core strength, balance and flexibility from a young age, it makes it a hell of a lot easier as an adult.

I had done none of these when I took up Ballet at the age of 30. Ouch.

But surely that core strength doesn't stay with you through to when you pick it up again??
I've decided I'm taking up Blues next year when I go back up for uni. Excited!! Have you done any blues?

I did it for the first time on Friday night in Melbourne.
Oh my GOD it was hot. *fans self* I have never danced with that kind of connection before.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:32, Reply)

Yep, sounds very much like the Blues class I took once!
I'm used to dancing with connection from Ballroom, but doing so with someone other than the missus was a bit weird. Glad you're enjoying it.
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:35, Reply)

There's definitely connection in Swing,
But the connection in Blues is so different I was quite stunned by it.
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:36, Reply)

Yeah, sexy different

(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:45, Reply)

veeeeeeeeery sexy different.
I mean the connection is from Here to Here! *gestures from shoulders to knees*
(Poppet some assembly required., Wed 16 Nov 2011, 9:50, Reply)

I remember not feeling like I could dance as much as I wanted
but that's probably because it followed a Charleston class, much more free.
