Josie Munro Ballet Improvers Case study I have been attending Ballet classes at Idea Store Learning for over three years now. I find them very inspirational. I learn a lot, and the classes are always fun. I have taken part in all the summer shows since I started, this year being the third time. Last academic year, the Friday performance took place on my 82nd birthday. What better way to celebrate? I find Ballet not only helps to keep me physically fit; it also keeps my brain active. Attending classes are also a good social outlet. There is always a happy atmosphere in class, and I have made new friends. I went through a very difficult period in my life when my husband became disabled, and I became his full time carer for six years until he died. Ballet classes were the only thing that kept me going at this time, and through my period of bereavement. I think adult education classes are a good thing generally for society. They give purpose and motivation to people. Life would be very sad without them. 59
