Nutcracker week

This whole week was Nutcracker rehearsel at the Cape Cod Community College starting Monday afternoon. On Monday we practiced the party scene where I'm one of two Masqueraders, and so I was there for a few hours. Then on Wednesday we had to practice the Snow scene and all of Act 2 where I'm a flower. Wednesday was a very long day, we had to practice since 4:00 pm, and for the first time we practiced Snow on a sleigh where I'm supposed to come out standing and then get off the sleigh on pointe. So I was having a lot of trouble with that on Wednesday, and then we practiced Flower later which still needed a lot of work. Then Thursday and Friday were dress rehearsels and I was still having trouble with the sleigh those days since the girls pushing me out weren't going out on time or fast enough so I was really worried about that. But on the night of the first show everything went really well, I was in my element, and everyone was glowing.
