Tuesday- Mostly Nutcracker practice, Snow and Flower

On Tuesday I had an hour and a half of dance class, ballet. We had a really short barre of about 20 minutes on pointe and then went straight to practicing Nutcracker. We went throught the Snowflake dance, where I am Snow Queen, and then we started to learn the opening dance. We always learn the opening dance before the main dance for Snow. As a class we are really getting better on our own personal strengths, especially in this dance. My tors are so much better, they are a turn in the air, I used to be really bad at them, and I've noticed since I have to do a lot of them in this dance that they are really improving.
Then we worked for only 10 minutes on another dance in the Nutcracker called the Waltz of the Flowers, it's painfully slow. I'm the only one in the class who has done this dance many times and the others need to realize how incredibly slow it actually is, so that's a skill we all need to work on, musicality.
After ballet we worked on our jazz piece Fame, Sabrina only added abut 2 counts of eight of choreography to the piece since 3 girls were missing. I need to work on my hip placement and movement for that piece, but my breathing is getting better, since that allows your energy to stay intact.
