Can you ask other students and teachers if they know where I might take some adult ballet classes in Jerusalem, Israel? I ideally, I would love to find adv beginner/intermediate classes similar to those offered at Steps. If I were truly lucky, I would find someone as dedicated, professional, energetic, and nurturing as you. But I will settle for a decent class that will keep me moving and keep my muscles from atrophy over the summer. Thank you so much for posting and spreading the word! xx, Susan Hi Dawn!

I would love to see something on how to execute a turnout or pointed foot for someone like me who has neither (if that's even possible). Thank you and I love your Sunday noon class!!

You always cheer us up. I noticed your sweet message today, Thank you very much! I had lesson in Tokyo until 5 days before my son was born in 2007. I visit my ex-boss in Boston this weekend and I thought I would skip your class, but you said there was no noon class! I'm looking forward the next time! I enjoyed your class yesterday too!

It reminds me of my early days of learning ballet... one of my teachers was also with child and she danced until about 2 weeks before the baby came! It was amazing- she did not jump too much in the last few months but she was there every class and she did say that she felt as though she had a much faster recovery after her baby was born(as compared with the stories she heard from her friends). I look forward to seeing you grow and to meeting your child on the outside!!! Sincerely, Dawn Dear Lovely Masako,
