STORY: KELLY CARMODY
YOU’RE NEVER TOO OLD FOR BALLET, SO START DANCING LIKE NO-ONE’S WATCHING.
Did you know that adult ballet is an incredible workout for your whole body?
It’s a form of weight-bearing exercise, promotes healthy bones and burns calories.
Ballet uses the full range of muscles and improves posture, coordination and body mobility, while also being recognised for helping cognitive functions such as coordination and concentration.
Total Ballet principal Megan Lloyd has more than 30 years of teaching experience in both classical ballet and jazz.
She has been dancing herself since the age of three and has opened classes in her dance studio to adults.
The emphasis in the adult ballet and dance fit classes is on enjoyment.
The classes are designed for participants to work at their own level within a group environment.
It is no secret that as the body ages, it becomes rigid and weak and ballet can help reinvigorate the body and loosen up stiff joints, and you’re never too old to try it.
