- Do I have time to eat this banana?
- No, probably not, I’ll get a stitch
- …ugh, I’m so hungry, though
- OK I’ll just have it
- No one had better be in my spot at the barre
- My calves are so tight
- And my hips
- I hope today is a Good Arabesque Day
- Oh my god, what was that crack?
- Now I feel like I need to pee
- But I’m wearing a leotard and I can’t be bothered
- I’ll just hold it
- Oh my god he’s here already? I’m hardly warm yet! Quick, emergency speed-splits
- I wonder where she got that leotard
- It’s grey though it probably shows up sweat patches really bad
- Is it Mirella?
- Oh god I forgot to pay attention to the exercise
- I need to copy some one who looks like they know what they’re doing
- He’s speaking to me in Russian and I have no idea what he’s saying
- I hate frappes
- I just remembered that quote “you should treat the barre like your favourite pet’s throat” well my pet would be very dead if that were true
- My legs don’t want to go up today…. heeeeaaaaave
- I’m sweating so much already
- Oh my god she just nearly kicked me in the face
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN REPEAT EN DEDAN?
- I shouldn’t have had that banana right before class
- I just did the most impressive back bend in arabesque and he wasn’t even looking
- There’s a loose baby hair tickling my neck
- Centre… why is the second line standing right behind me
- We’re not going to have room for this exercise
- Move back I don’t have room for an arabesque turn!
- Oops well that’s what you get for not being specially aware
- I feel quite on my leg today actually
- Maybe I’ll try for a double
- Ok maybe not
- I want her feet
- They’re so perfect
- I wish you could get surgery to give you better feet
- Does this leotard make me look skinny?
- I need to work on my core
- I say that every day but I actually do
- This time I mean it
- I bet these jumps sound like a herd of elephants from the downstairs studio
- Oh my god I should have peed before class
- I can’t jump any more
- I think I’m dying
- I might actually be dead
- Finished… now let me go pee!!
Just a bit of fun! What would you add?

So true! 😀 Now that I think about it, we think about ALOT of things in ballet class! One thing that I have to add is:
-YES! I nailed that turn! Wait, how come everyone didn’t see it!!
Happens to me all of the time, and I can’t but laugh about it afterwards. It is just so funny how the everyone misses your best turns, and always sees the not-so-good ones. I think everyone can relate to that! 😉
Loved this post!
That is so true! Why are the best turns always the ones when no one is watching?! Haha! But I’m glad you liked the post, thank you! 🙂 x
