It’s been a long long time since I have been to the ballet. I have always loved dance and miss performing it and seeing it. So a couple of weeks ago I decided to buy a ticket to the American Ballet Theatre at Lincoln Center. I just bought one ticket and took myself. This evening, when I came home from running errands, I showered, dressed and took myself to the ballet. It was a new Twyla Tharpe ballet and it was fantastic. While it is not always fun to go somewhere like a show by myself, it is empowering. Sure it’s great to have someone to compare notes with during intermission and after the show has ended, it gives me strength to know that if I want to see something, that I am not reliant on finding someone to go with.
