No ballet lesson



Those who know me, know I don't dance.
But at the age of four and five I actually went to a ballet school here in Moss.
The ballett teacher (I remember her as tall, thin and very elegant) lived in Horten, the town on the other side of the Oslo Fjord.
One very cold winterday I am standing more or less where I took this photo.
I remember the street as steeper than it is , but it is steep enough today, too.
Inside this building was the ballet school.
I am probably four years old.
Somebody is telling my mother and me that there will be no ballet lesson today.
The Oslo Fjord has frozen and the ferry was not able to cross the fjord.
My teacher was stuck in Horten.
