The School Of Classical Ballet

Most days at The School Of Classical Ballet start with just opening up the windows to let some air in before the humidity really kicks in. We are located at Girgaon French Bridge 7 and it is a pretty busy spot with a lot of noise coming from the street. Usually, the first thing anyone does is sweep the wooden floors because the dust seems to find its way inside no matter what we do. The mirrors always have some smudges on them from someone leaning against them during the last session and the barre feels cold until people start showing up. It is not a very big space but it works for what we need to do. People come in, drop their bags in the corner, and start stretching while they talk about their day. You can hear the trains passing by nearby sometimes which can be a bit loud if you are trying to concentrate on the music. There is an old fan that makes a clicking sound when it is on the highest setting but it helps a lot when the room gets crowded. We keep the shoes in a pile near the door and sometimes it is a bit of a mess to find the right pair. It is just a normal place where people spend a lot of time sweating and trying to get the movements right. Nothing fancy about the walls or the ceiling, just a lot of work happening every day at French Bridge.
