Ballet for Non-Ballerinas

My secret to happiness is ballet class. It gets my endorphins going and keeps my mind busy. I have been taking classes in the city since college and, though I have found some good teachers, the schools always felt too competitive and crowded, like a weird flashback from the movie Fame.

Then I found the Mark Morris Dance Center located in downtown Brooklyn. The center has huge, light-filled studios with well-tuned pianos. The teachers are lovely and most are former dancers from major dance companies. The classes are a mix of professional dancers and pedestrians like me, yet I never feel any attitude or competition. Instead, I am inspired and happy.

The center has all levels of ballet classes, but they also have modern, Afro-Caribbean, jazz, tap, yoga, and more.

Do you dance for fitness?
