Competition practice- near to collapse

This week at competition, our teachers really worked us and we were all near to collapse and exhaustion which is what the real world of dance is like. We learned some new choreogrpahy to music from the movie Fame, and Sabrina said that is was probably going to be someone's solo. I really liked the choreography and it'll make a great solo. So Sabrina had us do that dance of what we'd learned over and over again. And then a few of us and I went upstairs to work on our forte turns which isn't one of our strengths. We worked on Fame again, Angels and Demons and Bollywood meets Hollywood about 10 times each. And we had a few 2 minute breaks. So we were all losing our energy.
