I'm Gemma, 30 years old, and working towards my Grade 7 exam. In the exam, the rep skirt is not worn for barre work but it's pretty and I wanted to wear it so I did.

My channel is all about enjoying ballet as an adult. I am aware my technique is far from perfect but I hope to encourage others to dance and that with all my flaws I'm far less intimidating to watch than the pre-teens on the DVD.

Good luck to anyone taking a ballet exam. I hope my videos have been helpful.
