:23:06. > :23:10.will start walking taller and feel confident in themselves, in their

:23:28. > :23:33.passionate about ballet, I've always wanted to do it but never had the
:23:34. > :23:38.opportunity. This is great to join in, in this class and a beginner's
:23:39. > :23:42.one at my age. It is not just about exercise. It is about building

:23:48. > :23:55.here five minutes but my flexibility has changed completely. Oh.
:23:56. > :24:04.I never thought I would do that. This is just one of a range of

:24:12. > :24:14.and build their confidence. Have fun and enjoy the live classical music
