I was on ballet class pick-up duty this evening. Maya’s teacher routinely runs class 30 minutes beyond the scheduled end time of 6:30 PM. Bored while waiting, I ventured up to the second-floor studio and took this photograph from floor level using the wall-mounted mirror to “see” into the room. Maya is wearing the blue leotards. For the first time, there was a boy in the class and this subject was the source of much discussion on the ride home. When I was a young man I studied both ballet and jazz dance and can relate to being the only male in a dance class. I must say that I rather enjoyed the 11 to 1 ratio and can recommend such a class to both of my sons.
