Zooey Deschanel Is Taking Ballet To Get Wedding Fit
Zooey Deschanel is taking ballet classes to slim down before her wedding.
The ‘(500) Days of Summer’ actress, who is engaged to Death Cab For Cutie frontman Ben Gibbard, is determined to look her best when she ties the knot and has embarked on a new exercise regime.
A source told the New York Post newspaper:
"Zooey has been taking classes at Pure Barre in Los Angeles to prepare for the wedding. She has been doing workouts which are based on ballet barre work back to back.
“She'll take a class, wait 15 minutes, and then take another."
It is believed Zooey is planning to wed Ben this autumn.
Any adults on INO take ballet? I know one person who is a ballerina but that's her full time job. She doesn't really do it for exercise - it's her livelihood.

I think it would be a blast! But I'd have to start from the beginning... The only dancing I've done was a few years of tapping over 10 years ago.

She's sooo adroable. I don't know about her acting skills (The Happening---groan) but she was good in Elf. Anyway, she's so cute! ***annie***
That sounds like fun! Instead of sweating it up at the gym, you learn to dance. I'd do that if I had the money and time haha

I teach ballet and modern classes my local university. Its fun and does give you a great workout. I've seen a huge difference one semester of ballet can to to a persons body, flexability and physical stamina. I dont consider it a workout because it doesent feel like one, but it gives you great results. Tones your muscles without giving you that "pumping iron" look. Hence the term "dancers body". For those of you who have never tried it, I recommend you do so, i promise, you will never want to do a traditional workout ever again. :)

I used to be a ballet dancer, and I still take classes. It's not only about working out but about movement, posture - everything.

I would LOVE to be able to do that, but am I the only one that would feel super awkward taking a class as an adult?? I guess I'd need to go with a friend to feel more comfortable.
Zooey is a very pretty woman. Love her.
And I completely agree that dancing is a great way to get back in shape. A lot more interesting and fluid than running on the treadmill. I do go the gym, but twice a week I go to my dance studio for class where we do PCD class, or GoGo, Aerial, Pole, or Sensual, depening on what I'm signed up for. All adult woman, only for women and its a very fun friendly enviroment. I think they have ballet basics as well but I haven't participated yet. I suppose I should as well :)

Zooey looks so much like Katy Perry. I thought it was her for a second.
