Hello all, I'm an adult taking ballet classes 3 times a week for fun. I danced throughout my childhood, but stopped in college, and got back into it about 3 months ago. It's amazing how much your body remembers!

"Why aren’t we telling young women that you can totally buy that lacy bra and panty set just for you?...Why are we scolding and shaming teenagers for their interest in lingerie instead of encouraging them to view it as another, healthy aspect of their self-expression and personal style?"
