Ballet Class, Filming of class

On Thursday, we learned that part of our class would be filmed so that our teacher could put a video on the website, so people could see an actual ballet class. But we thought it would be on Tuesday and when we came to class we learned that there would be no filming, so Sabrina told us it would be next week. Then I received an e-mail from Sabrina that the filming would take place on Thursday. The filming wasn't exactly what I'd expected, we did simple combinations at barre, across the floor and in the center, but it was all on one side, we never did any combination on both sides.

June 2, 2009 Contemporary- finishing Moulin Rouge dance

Last Wednesday in contemporary class we finally finished the Moulin Rouge dance, which is so amazing, I love the dance so much. Unfortunately our teacher was not happy about the costumes that were delivered for the dance, but we will have to wear them. Also half the class was missing so it was really difficult to do the Moulin Rouge dance, so nobody really does anything at the same time in the dance. And so near the end, the part where everybody works together to lift me up in the air, one girl was missing to lift up my front leg, so the lift wasn't able to be done.

June 2 2009 Finishing Anniversary Dance, Ballet

Last week, last Tuesday, we as a class finished finally the Anniversary ballet piece, we were very excited to finally finish it, since the show is June 20th. So we were a little bit behind. Sabrina wasn't there the Tuesday before, so the week before we had tried our best to do the dance without her. But she still wants us to work on the technique a lot more since the dance is finished. I noticed that as a class we had been working together very well, to remember the dance and help others if they didn't understand a move.
