My Mom was a professional ballet dancer in New Zealand before moving to Canada & starting her family, she taught me from a young age on a casual basis and although I didnt become a dancer, I used to do ballet for extra training while I was a competitive figure skater. I used to love it, if I hadnt been a skater I might have taken up ballet full time.
My mom taught me about blocking and all I can say is OUCHie lol.

I highly reccomend taking a basic ballet class, it will be a HUGE addition to your skating skills, I promise! it was a major help to me and helped me become alot more aware of my arms and legs as well as help me be alot more graceful
