Well, I finally decided to do something I have been saying I would do for over a year.  Inspired by my friend Bean and her awesome blog ("just plodding along") I have created this blog as a chance to talk about the different types of movement I have been forcing myself to try.  Now that I am over 30 and my prospects for becoming a prima ballerina seem to be at an end, I have begun trying new forms of dance and various fitness experiences.  That is what this blog will be about, plus lots of musings on ballet - my facebook friends are tired of constant youtube clip postings...  I hope this blog serves as a moment of humor and as inspiration for anyone who is afraid to try moving around in a different way. 

Sidenote - I wanted to call this blog "the amateur ballerina," but it would have been surrounded by porn listings on the google search, so I thought "Odette and improve" was a better way to go.
