I used to be a ballerina. Not a professional, but a pretty darned serious dancer. I danced for fifteen years, beginning at the tender age of 3. And towards the end of my “career,” I was at the studio 7 days a week, dancing for 1.5 to 3 hours a day. Looking back, I can say that ballet was woven into the fabric of my being as only something that played a part of my most formative years could be.
