Blue Pointe Shoes |
Phew. Is it really Monday already? Where does the time go…?
Thursday was fantastic! Miss Sara has decided to incorporate Cecchetti Grade Two into our regular ballet class which brings a huge smile to my face. For the next few weeks we are going to focus a lot on Cecchetti– after all, the exams are on their way!
Besides regular ballet classes and Cecchetti work, I have started working on pointe! I may not have shoes, but I will soon. I am taking a 45 minute beginner pointe class (without shoes) this summer, and I already love it! Miss Sara recommended that we all buy a strong “Thera-band” to stretch our feet with. I found a pack of three at the store, but I’ll only be using the black band, as it is the strongest. I would most likely snap the blue and green bands before I could complete a single stretch… and nobody likes that.
And that, dancers, is how I spent my Thursday. If anything extraordinarily exciting happens in class this week, I’ll be here to tell every detail!
