Je suis une ballerine!

Ok so not really, but last night I took my first ballet class! I have wanted to take ballet since I was old enough to twirl in a circle.. so a long time. So last night I thought maybe I'll just google it and see if there is anything available.. next thing I knew I was out the door on my way to a 'debutante' course for beginners in danse classique! It just happened to be in the marais district.. tres cool.. I was looking for 41 rue temple, but all I saw was 39..43..what?? Then I realised I needed to walk back into this little courtyard. and then- Lindsay you will never believe this- I realised where I was: http://www.paris-danse.com/webcam.asp !! Like I had my class in those second story windows. This just happened to be the little webcam my sister found online sometime last year- the webcam I would go to when I couldn't wait for paris to come! The little cafe gets really busy during lunch and dinner and it is fun to see all the people. But could that be any more crazy?!? I couldn't beleive it.. But the class was a riot - i was definitely the only debutante in this class for debutantes. I felt a little like a whale.. or some other very large and ungraceful creature next to these little french ballerinas. But for some crazy reason I still enjoyed it! It was entirely in french which I thought was just all the more appropriate for my first ballet experience.
