Today was the start of my Recital Week; I am overjoyed! Of course, before any rehearsing could be done, my final ballet class before the big show was to be attended…
We did much barre work today, along with stretching. Afterwards, although Miss Sara had originally planned otherwise, she decided to let us learn a new variation. We chose to learn a piece from Sleeping Beauty— The Canary Fairy. It was so much fun! Because our teacher is still injured (It turns out that her foot is actually broken.), we taught ourselves the dance using Miss Sara’s iPad and an extremely helpful video. It is a little rough, but we will be working on it quite a bit after recital (we have one last week of classes!).
After my class, it was on to Rehearsal 1 (which took place in Studio C, during the Cherubs’ class-time)! The little princesses were absolutely beautiful; I’m so proud of them!
Speaking of rehearsals, I have finally figured out the correct schedule (good thing, too!). Basically, Rehearsal 1 took place in the younger girls’ classes this afternoon. Tomorrow is the first rehearsal for Recital 3 and Thursday will sum it up. On Friday, there will be a Recital 2 rehearsal; however, because I am only in one dance, I am not required to attend.
