“WELCOME TO HELL, LADIES!” says Mr. Smith, the ________ of the adult ballet class. I force a smile as he presses down on my stiff back, attempting to be a little more ________.

When I was a little girl, I ________ elegantly dancing across the stage like the Swan Princess. With several reasons, my hopes of taking ballet lessons were killed. But every so often, usually while watching a brilliant performance of Swan Lake, those little ________ of unfulfilled desire would speak up and say that I should take lessons before it’s too late.

And here I am—more than 50 years—finally ________ for it.

I’m an absolute ________, but 30 years older than the rest of the participants in the adult class. We are practising “port de bras”, a ballet term for the ________ of the arms. I flutter (挥动) my arms, awakening my inner ________, “Your hands, they look like claws of a chicken,” Mr. Smith ________, “No one wants to look at that. It’s ugly.” He points his finger at various body parts while ________ giving feedback, “Head up, neck long, chest proud, stomach in, back straight, bottom tight.” Every time he looks at me, I instantly know that I’ve missed something. So I take note of every previous adjustment to gain his approval.

After a few sessions, I find myself looking forward to taking ballet classes with a mix of anxiety and excitement. Between classes, I ________ my posture in every window I pass. I’m ________. My hands are less claw-like and my posture a little more straight. And I constantly imagine I’m on stage, holding the audience entirely in my ________.

Learning ballet as an adult has been a much bigger ________ than I expected, but I’m glad that I took action and that ballet still ________ me as it did when I was a little girl.
