That would have been something to remember -- mom and D as mom and Clara! My D has a friend that just made point. It's a pretty big commitment when you get to that point. I'm in awe of your skills.
I've done aerobics for years but that ain't ballet. Actually, my D just started going with me, and my mom (who I've been 'dancing' with for 22 years). We keep each other going... I'm proud that perhaps my exercise regimen is rubbing off on my D.
