Emma and Regina's Ballet

Regina's pov

I love my ballet school, the instructors are so supportive. We talk about body image struggles, eating disorders, but also the reality of being a ballet student.

After class on Monday I was rushing home to change and quickly make a quick salad spinach, apples, onions, a bit of green pepper and vinegar, and a pear at home. After quickly munching on my salad and packing my pear with me. I Rush to dance class and walk in about 25 minutes before class so I can stretch. I always try and grab something to eat before dance class. Nothing to heavy though I don't want to have a gut during class. But I swear Emma could eat a cow before class and still have the tightest stomach ever. Not that she would ever eat processed red meat but she could if she wanted.

Honestly Emma wouldn't eat half the crap I do, no monster energy even the zero calorie ones. No gum because she says it bloats her. No gummie candy, but that is more ethical than food related. No Takis, chips in general, diet coke nothing. But her healthy diet is probably why she weighs 8 pounds less than me.

When I get there Emma hasn't yet arrived but Aurora has, so I start stretching with her. It's always better to be early then on time to any ballet classes. Our instructor is strict, five minutes late and you can't attend class. I understand why but I always feel bad for people who show up late.

" Hey Aurora, do you know what's going on in class today?" I ask as I roll into a plie, then raise my body up into a passe.

Aurora runs her hands over her read bun while she thinks. She's got on a simple black leotard and blue skirt, they blue pairs well with her whole look. Reddish brown freckles, green eyes and long toned legs. we are almost matching but I've got on teal shorts and my brown bun is braided.

" Not to sure more technique like the past couple of weeks. She did say last month some of the other classes were getting sloppy. We might be learning a new arabesque sequence on point though. "

As we Chat Aurora raise her leg into a beautiful arabesque, before completely bending down to touch her toes. She's a bit of a show off but she's beautiful and a strong dancer so it's all worth it.

I keep it simple gently stretching my calf's with tendus, and this heel stretch lee taught me. Petit Allegro baby jumps. It's not easy but knowing we are on pointe today I need to properly warm up.

" Okay, well thanks for telling me I think Emma's here so I'm going to go see her. You look great Aurora. " I say while I walk away from her.

" Of course and thank you!" She exclaimed as she jumps into a Grand allegro. " There is only four of us in the class, even though everyone is here there is plenty of space so she has plenty of space to jump around.

" Hello beautiful miss Regina." Emma responds while reaching out for my hand then lightly running her hand across it as I arrive at our bar.

" Well hello beautifully blonde emma. We've got pointe today so warm up." I remind her as I begin to lace up my own point shoes. These ones are decently broken in but still strong so I'll be comfortable. Well as comfortable as I can be given the circumstances.

" I'm okay with that, I've been practicing my technique and express throughout the week so I'll be okay." Emma explains to me as she rolls into a front spilt.

Emma looks great today, she's got the ballet look, tall thin, blue eyed and blonde. She always dresses simply but clean to class. Today even though it's freezing all she has on is her leotard tights and shoes.

Before I can respond our instructor walks into class. She walks in and everyone races into first position on bar. She has such a strong routine instilled in us. We know we have to run through our positions three times before we actually start.
