Fall Classes– The Beginning, Tuesday

Hot Pink Pointe Shoes

Phew! The first day of fall classes is officially over! It would have been slightly less draining if I was not fighting off a cold, but working hard has never taken the fun out of dance class (and never will).

First off, I had ballet. I wanted to hug Miss Sara, but that wouldn’t be very considerate, keeping in mind that I am not feeling too perfect. So, I hugged Emma instead (who happens to be sick as well). Haha! Anyway, class was great! It is a fairly small, combined, ballet class (the highest division of ballet with the second highest division); four girls from the highest and one from the second highest are attending. I fall into the “highest” section of the group– so exciting! Anyway, we worked on a lot of stretching and other such things to get our bodies back in shape after our break.

After class, I went home a took a much-needed rest. Once I had regained my energy, it was back to the studio with me! I was out to help Miss Jennifer with the cherubs class. It was so fun! We have around twelve girls in the class (I forgot to make an exact count.) and they are all ADORABLE. We were missing one little girl whom I can’t wait to meet next week. Changing the topic slightly: I guess you can say I have been dreaming about assistant teaching; there are certain parts of the class I am looking forward to the most. Right now, I can barely contain my excitement about seeing their recital costumes (which should happen by the end of this month)! I hope it’s pink…! I will be sure to describe the whole thing or possibly post a picture after I see it.

That’s all for now! Next up: “Fall Classes– Thursday.” Look out for the post about my very first modern class!
