>Tim,>your post very closely echos my own fantasy.  I am buying some pointe shoes to go with my pink thong leotard and tights.  My girlfriend, who took ballet as a girl, is going to teach me basic ballet, and punish each mistake with one or more strokes of a cane, so that I will learn more quickly.  I am very fortunate that she is as equally excited as I am at the idea, and know from experience that she's very strict.  The cane she will use is a German loop cane - consisting of a leather bound handle and three interwoven strands of rattan.  It's light, so she doesn't have to be accurate when quickly punishing a mistake, and yet has a ferocious sting.  A heavier cane will also be on hand for the more severe punishment of repeated mistakes.

>I have also considered the idea of receiving discipline for weight loss.  It is particularly important that a ballarina be slim.  Have you considered putting an ad in a local TV or femdom magazine, something that reads perhaps "Ballet TV seeks strict ballet discipline on a regular basis"?

>Unfortunately you do not say where you are located.  I'm in Northern California.
