Recap of the #adultballet tweetchat!

Join us for the #AdultBallet TweetChat this Sunday, June 14 at 8PM EDT!

twitter-chatWe’ll be chatting all things #adultballet on Twitter this Sunday at 8pm EDT. If you’ve never participated in one it’s pretty simple. The @adultballerina twitter account will ask a series of questions and will include the #adultballet hashtag in each one of the questions. Anyone can answer them, just make sure to include the #adultballet tag in your answers so everyone can see them!

Personally, I like to use TweetDeck (it’s super easy and just connected to your Twitter account) to follow along, but there’s also a new website called Twubs that makes chats super easy, and you can check out the #adultballet page here. You can also just follow along by searching #adultballet on plain old Twitter, too!

Let us know your coming by clicking yes in the poll:

And tweet to let everybody know to join us:

Is there a question you’d like to see us ask? Leave it in the comments!
