So I had a stretch class a couple days ago. It was taught by one of the company dancers who didn't introduce himself. He was a good teacher though. I thought before the class that my core may be a little stronger than some of the other girls. However, our teacher decided to do a half hour of core work. Ugh, it took me three days before my core started feeling normal again and that's not an overreaction either. I found out the hard way that I have an average core amongst ballerinas which I can live with. It was really a kick in the stomach and I was reminded that pride goes before a fall, which I think I'm ok with. Sometimes, we all need that check in reality and that reminder that sure, we might be good, but we still have room for improvement. Anyways, have a great day guys and just keep dancing!! ~Mia
