The Nutcracker– Rehearsal Eight

The happenings of my eighth Nutcracker Rehearsal are as follows:

I signed in and quickly walked back to the waiting area where I found Caroline jumping about her Cecchetti results. She, Emma and I chatted about the exams and soon found ourselves in Studio 2 with the rest of the “Party Crew.” We later transferred to Studio 1 and practice began!

Because Cast B began the rehearsal, I volunteered to hold the garlands (to pass to the boys) before the Garland Dance. Caroline kindly took my place when Cast A was called. We ran the entire scene with both casts and went through the dances a few extra times as well. So fun!

Next week, I plan to wear my hair accessory to rehearsal (as the color has to be checked). The week after is our last rehearsal– yikes! The performances are coming up quickly!
