When we (adult level 1) don't have to be at the practice session, we can take a level 2 class and we are also allowed, for the time of the practice period, to take an extra class on Tueday. So again faith stepped in and solved my problem. :-) Update:

Yesterday the 1st year teacher was ill and we could take a pilates class and/or the 2nd year classical class as a replacement. Of course I did. :-) So now I have an idea of the 2nd year and I guess it's allright. I didn't feel as if I was completely out of place there. I also talked to the principal and she explained to me the 1st year and 2nd year etc classes are mostly for people who start later in life and want to have a go at ballet, but not too serious if you know what I mean. For people more serious, eg teens who still want to go pro, there is a placement group where things are explained and taught more thorougly, so she suggested adding this group next year. So I figured to try 2nd next year, if I feel I can't keep up, add the placement and if neccessary, drop to 1st + placement if 2nd still is not what I want. Only 'problem' is that, if I also add contemporary, this means monday - tuesday - wednesday dancing / thursday - friday - saturday - sunday no dancing, which isn't really an even spread (and I'll have to juggle my dressage trainings in between, to be able to satisfy my horses, but that's my own problem of course). Principal also suggested to take the summer course (1 week in July, every day, multiple classes), so I'll let you know how it goes. :-) And then faith steps in and solves the problem!

As Adults, we are in class for very different reasons than the youngsters. Of COURSE try the more advanced class ---you might surprise yourself! And then, if it causes you too much anxiety, you can change. Schools should not, in my opinion, make such a big deal of class levels for adult dancers. Take the class in which you feel comfortable --and you won't know which that is unless/until you try! Oh, go for it! As Adults, we are in class for very different reasons than the youngsters.

And yes, indeed, it's a teacher's job to push students just a little beyond there comfort zone each time to make them progress, I'm just not quite sure about how little is a little... :-) I e-mailed to the director of the studio about this and she wants to talk to me about it, and also my teacher, but we have to find a suitable moment first. Thanks for your comments. @ Marissa,

Recognizable, yes…

@ Nancy,

I don’t think my teacher is asking me to do things my body isn’t ready to, I trust his professionality, but I think he’s asking me to do something my mind isn’t ready to, if you know what I mean.

And yes, indeed, it’s a teacher’s job to push students just a little beyond there comfort zone each time to make them progress, I’m just not quite sure about how little is a little…
