Fall Classes 2013: The Beginning– Tuesday

Today was the beginning of my third year at the studio.

I’ve never been in one place for this long. Give me a second to cry.

*takes a deep breath*

All better. Except for the shock. But ignore that.

Today’s Training 3 class was tough– really tough– but I’m the better for it. We did some glorious barre combinations, A LOT of stretching, worked on a lengthy adage piece and practiced across-the-floor. All in all, it was fabulous, hard though it was. It was so good to see Miss Sara again.

Besides new choreography, I collected quite a bit of information this morning. For starters, Valerie and I are the only two dancers signed up for the Tuesday Training 3 lesson. For that reason, the class is being cancelled and will not appear on the schedule by next week. Therefore, Valerie and I were given two options: attend the Monday Training 3 class or take the Training 1 and 2 lesson on Tuesdays (directly after our cancelled class). Because I love my quaint Tuesday mornings, I will be signing up for the Training 1 and 2 class. I’m quite excited, for Adysen is in this class…! So, it all works out!

Next on the list, the studio’s latest feature, a theater company, had a HUGE turn-out. The Training Center is needed for the 30-or-so girls signed up for this Wednesday class. Therefore, my Wednesdays are going to be a little hectic…:

~I will assistant teach with Bethanny in Studio A.
~We will take modern in the Training Center.
~We will do Training 3 barre for half an hour in the Training Center.
~We will go down to Studio A for the remainder of Training 3 (pointe). 

So, it all works out!

I then ventured to ask my teacher how on earth our Fridays are going to work out this year, as Training 1, 2 and 3 are all scheduled at the same time. As it turns out, Training 2 and 3 will be combined and spend this month with Miss Sara while the Training 1s work with Bethanny. Next month, we will swap teachers and so on and so forth. So, it all works out!

Lastly, I inquired upon the combined dance for our upcoming recital in May. Miss Sara assured me that the entire Training Division will be involved in a “celebratory” dance for our ten-year anniversary.

If you haven’t already guessed…
