“Guys, guess what? I figured out that my purpose in life is to drink coffee and to eat potato soup!” –Bethany
Haha, Bethany had quite an amazing entrance into Studio A yesterday…!
We started out the Friday ballet class with “cardio” as my newest teacher is all about a good warm-up. Next, we worked on “abs.” Bethany has some spectacular workouts when it comes to strengthening our core. After that, we proceeded to write each of our names with our toes. Interesting right? It was SUCH a great stretch. We went around in a circle; Bethany started us off. She spelled her name out-loud and we followed the spelling with our feet. Then, of course, there was barre, a little bit of center and across-the-floor work. Bethany focuses a lot on performance– our posture, expression and fluidity are extremely important.
Later, I ran over to Studio C with Emma and Anna not too far behind. There, I slid on my pointe shoes and worked on releves, echappes, our across-the-barre combination, walks, chaines turns and others. I love it! <3
