If I can do the math correctly, you take 8 hours of ballet a week!. As far as I know that is a very good amount of ballet to take in a week!. At my studio we are required to take at least 2 classes a week which equals somewhere between 3-4 hours a week and I find that that is enough for me and most of us so I can only imagine how well you are doing!. As long as you continue to keep taking class and trying as hard as you can, then you will always be doing your best!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

As long as you continue to dance, you will continue to improve!. If you want to dance more, then go for it! But listen to your body, especially when it's telling you that you're doing too much!. You'll keep improving so just have fun! Enjoy the dance, embrace it and you heart and soul will shine on the stage and at the studio =)Www@QuestionHome@Com
