I’m a shy 58-year-old man, and I love my adult ballet.
All I originally wanted was to develop some grace of movement and confidence. But somewhere along the way, I completely fell in love with ballet.
It’s a long journey for me. I was once 160 kg; now I’m 105 kg, working towards 75 kg by my tummy tuck on 5 March 2027.
I started this journey simply as body recomposition. But it has grown into something much bigger. I now train 7 days a week, around 3 hours a day, through to December 2027, with the goal of becoming lean, strong and muscular enough to move more easily and continue dancing as I get older.
My legs have always felt heavy, but in just three months I’ve managed to get my leg to horizontal.
One day, I’d love to achieve a beautiful vertical leg by Christmas 2027.
Then I want to dance, act, sing—and fly.
It’s a long way from where I started.
But I’m already moving.
