On Thursday, we all had a real workout. The new teacher Francesca is strict and really focuses on technique. On Tuesdays we're going to work on Nutcracker with Sabrina, so on Thursdays it's a technique class. We had to wear our pointe shoes the entire time and most days I don't mind however I still have one week old pointe shoes and I hurt my toe, but all dancers have to go through that. But I'm finding still that my feet get stronger because of this. And then after ballet, we had lyrical choreography and Francesca added on to the dance. She's adding turns that I've never done before so I'm definitely having some difficulty. And it's now a goal to do a double pirouette on my left side and then into two forte turns in seconde.
On Friday, we had competition practice at the Barnstable studio. We started off by warming up and then went downstairs to work on the Schindler's list group dance, which is starting to look really good. Sabrina added on a part with me and this little girl Alyssa who kind of rolls onto my back. However Alyssa wasn't really understanding, and she rolled onto my head, giving me a headache for a few hours. But then she began to understand as we practiced a few times. Then we practiced the Bollywood dance which I love, it's very different and cool. And we learned new choreography for that. Then Sabrina had Lorissa and I practice our duet for the first time in front of her, and she really likes it.
