Day 9 www.manlyfire.org.nz 10 day challenge
Ballet! I’ve got the benefit of writing this after looking at the pics & watching the video’s on Manly Fire Station’s Facebook page – all brought tears to the eyes. Absolute grace, absolute poise and absolutely hilarious. I got the ok from physio to do light ballet with the slight tear between the back of my knee & calf which has caused some type of cyst or fluid from ? caused swelling. Ice, anti-flams & physio for a week and then assess _ hopefully clear in two weeks. In a week if there is little improvement, then more tests to see if there is any cartilage damage but don’t think so.
Back to the ballet - ’intermediate” ballet is what we were going to be shown - all I know is that if my body wasn’t meant for Zumba, ballet was a galaxy away. Trying to do the jumps, twists – down & up – and down and up – and down for 2 and up – arm out to the left over and around, leg to the left, around and into 2nd..
Cindy’s knee is in a bad way which meant she couldn’t make it - really sore but felt in part a little relieved as she had the tutu’s! So the humiliation was left only to the grace of our movement, and not the pain of being in silk [or whatever] ballet gear.
Get onto Facebook – look for Manly Fire Station – like – and enjoy but WARNING don’t be eating or drinking when you watch!
