Well, lovely dancers, the Tuesday Training 3 class has officially closed, and today was my first Training 1 and 2 lesson with Miss Sara for 2013— what an experience!
It was great to meet Jenna and Channing, two incoming Training 1s. I was also able to see Lily, Emma’s little sister, in class. And, of course, seeing Adysen was the highlight of my entire day…! <3 Good luck girls!
First off, my hip (?) was giving me a boatload of issues. Throughout the extent of three combinations, Miss Sara and I tried to put a finger on exactly what was causing the trouble, but to no avail. Oh, well… I have a good excuse to take a hot bath tonight…*tries to look sad*
An even greater challenge arose with the slow, tedious combinations which my teacher dealt out to the class; I had completely forgotten how much effort it takes to move slowly. It was a fabulous experience, however, for I was able to correct the essentials (my head, arms, turn-out, toes, etc.) which seem to slip when faster, more complex combinations arise. I do believe that this class is going to give my technique a new-found quality and clarity, and that makes me very happy… 🙂
