The Madam Class
I have enjoyed dancing ballet for almost 20 years in total. Now I belong to a madam class at the ballet school here in Utsunomiya. The class has more than 20 “madams” (some are in there twenties, some in their seventies(maybe!).)
I put my younger son at a day-care center for kids every week and make a dash for a lesson!
No dance! No life!! This is my happiest time. Ballet is essential not only for my own happiness but also for my family’s happiness, I believe.
You know why? When I feel good & relaxed, I can stay “good mother”.
I’m going to be on a stage this summer. Poor my husband! He has to take care of our mischievous boys all day long! But, let me say my happiness will bring his happiness!? (Day-care centers for kids don’t usually open on weekends.)
I think more and more Japanese mothers start enjoying their own life these days! I hope day-care centers can be available for all mothers in various situation.

Hi Madonna Gloria,
I didn’t know you’ve been practicing ballet for your life. I am glad to know you will be on the stage soon. It certainly your hubby will cooperate with you. Break your leg!! ( I have learned this expression lately. Which means Gan-ballet.)
