Dance/ Ballet- Diamond Dance, working on timing

On Thursday, since our dance teacher Sabrina was sick and could not come, another teacher Sarah supervised our class and watched us do our ballet Diamond dance. However it was difficult to keep up with the timing since the music is very soft and doesn't really have high points to mark certain parts of the dance. So the first time that we did the dance, it was really horrible and we either too late or too early for the music, it was just really bad!! Then we started to listen to the music more and more and finally we were getting a hang of how to mark the music, I think that Sabrina will see much more of an improvement next week!

Dance/ Ballet- contemporary, Moulin Rouge dance

On Wednesday, I had contemporary class as usual, and I felt that it was a really good class, I was excited. Mad World, our first dance that we've been learning since the beginning of the year, went really well. And we also did this arm and jump exercise, and our teacher didn't tell us when to stop, so I just keep going, because I was feeling the adrenaline, and at the end this other girl Britney and I were the only ones left doing it, it felt good. Then we moved on to the Moulin Rouge dance, and we're so close to finishing it, however not everyone was there so we couldn't learn the rest. However we did practice the part near the end where I am put into the air by four girls, I really had to learn to balance my weight and be able to jump into the air and have the girls catch me, we really had to work together. I hope next time it goes better since some girls were a little late into lifting me up.

Dance/Ballet- awareness of needing to stretch

On Tuesday, this week, the 12th, I had ballet class from 6:30 to 8, and for some reason I felt way more tired than I usually do, and not stretched out whatsoever. And I really didn't want to stretch out and as a result, I wasn't stretched out enough for class. I think that maybe from now on, I should do at least a half hour of stretching before class, to be warmed up. Also I keep noticing that my feet are stronger and stronger each class.
