Caris said: I went out of curiosity, to not put any pressure on myself, but to help with a physical injury and to make exercising more fun. I met a lovely community, I gained confidence and found core strength, something I've missed, for a long time. With the carpet, it meant we were not in an ideal setting. As the weather warmed up, the carpet was more annoying and I believe it's not ideal for dance, for the purpose of ballet. I was sad on the last day, when the term came to an end. I'm so glad i went a little out of my comfort zone, enjoyed the variety of music and found friends and myself in the music!
