Today, in ballet class, I was really focusing and actually trying to work hard. I was really getting into the choreography. I was travelling big and leaping long. While going across the floor, again I travelled and leaped… right into the ballet bars and fell over, in front of 35 people. FML

College Life
Packed lecture halls, a sketchy roommate and frat parties: welcome to college, the real thing.
Today, I joined a dance class to impress my girlfriend. Halfway through, I realized I had two left feet. The instructor asked me to demonstrate a simple move, and instead I tripped on the mat, fell into another dancer, and took her down with me. I’ve been banned from all future classes. FML
Today, I had one of my biggest dance shows ever. After months of practice I had finally gotten the lead position. When I entered the stage and raised my arms my straps fell down and I flashed an audience of 5000. FML
Today, I injured my knee during dance class. When it started to feel a little bit better, I tried dancing again. I tripped, fell, and broke my wrist. FML
Today, I tried to show off my dance moves at a party and ended up falling through a glass table. FML
Today, I sprained my ankle at dance class. No, I wasn't dancing when I did it. I was trying to step off from a small mat so I could go home. FML
Today, my mom told me to break a leg before performing in my dancing school's show. I really did break part of my leg while performing. FML
Today, in dance class, the instructor asked me to demonstrate the splits to the group. I slid down, my legs opening wider as I descended. I then loudly farted for the full 5 seconds it took to reach the ground. FML
Today, at the gym, I was trying to look cool doing pull-ups in front of someone I liked. On my first pull-up, my hand slipped, and I fell backwards onto a yoga ball, which shot me straight into another guy doing push-ups. FML
Today, I auditioned for a role in ballet. My stomach was in pain and as I ran to be lifted into the air by my partner, I let out a huge fart. The auditorium was dead silent. FML
Today, I was doing squats at the gym. I caught my reflection in the mirror, got distracted by how awkward I looked, and lost my balance. I fell backward onto a medicine ball, rolled into another person’s legs, and took them down with me. We ended up in a sweaty heap. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ballet fail. Professional dancers regularly attend class. It helps keep their technique up to snuff.

YDI for doing ballet.

From the way you word your post, it seems like this is the first time you're working hard in ballet. YDI. and YDI for complaining about falling. You're not a dancer if you haven't fallen once.

Yesterday, in dance class, we learned a new dance. I didn't get any of it and ended up standing there awkwardly most of the time, making a fool of myself in front of 35 people. FML At least you can dance.

Hm. you sorta deserve it. i agree with some of the other posts. 1. There were probably no professionals attending the class. Not a big deal if you fall. 2. You ran into the barres, not the bars. &&3. When you're doing a jete, isn't the idea to be going for height, and not distance? So maybe 'leaping long' wasn't the smartest idea? I'm more of a jazz/contemporary dancer, and that's what I'm always told. I'm not the greatest, but I'd say i'm not that bad.. Just a hint of advice..correct me if I'm wrong? 4. Only true dancers fall on their ass :) Don't worry about it. It happens to all of us!

In regard to "leaping long", you're right. At least, that's how my, Russian-style, studio teaches them.
