Outside Reading #17

"If these Walls Could Talk" by Graydon Royce, Star Tribune

I read an article about the building where I have danced in since 3rd grade, the Hennepin Center for the Arts. Memories came back looking at the pictures of the studio's and ballet teacher's I have had. There was a picture of my African- Modern teacher I had last year when I took a class at Zenon, and my old ballet teacher,  Lirena. I remember her Russian accent, and that she was the most strict teacher but yet also my favorite because she was so funny. Reading this article, I realize how much I miss not being there. I use to go down town almost every day of the week to take classes there, and I would slowly improve my ballet technique. I appreciate how they preserved this beautiful building so that people can go there to practice the performing arts.
