There's no wooden block. As you can see there's a platform that she can balance on. But yes like Thatsnice said we do have padding so it's not as awful as it sounds. :)(I'm not trying to sound like a know-it-all but I'm a ballet dancer so sorry if I came of sounding conceited)
I took a ballet class last month for the first time and it was horrible. The teacher showed the move one time and expected you to do it perfectly after that. And when you didn't get it she would just scream the name of the move at you instead of explaining it better. She just screamed "Fondue! No, no, no, FONDUE!!" and I thought "Yeah I could eat some Fondue right now!" She screamed so much I wanted to start crying. And I am 24 years old.
Congrats to everyone who takes ballet classes and can put up with the shit you get there and actually look graceful while doing anything. You're heroes and you probably don't even know it. You can all be proud of yourselves. But I quit after my first lesson.
Well I did for a long time when I was younger. Now I go to an open class for people like me who just wants to refresh her memory or ppl like u who are first timers. .....but the teacher is nice! If you like it find a nice fun class
