TGiF!

I had ‘late’ class today (at eleven instead of nine).  It was nice because I felt much better focused all day.  The class was slightly different compared to previous classes this week.  Most of the exercises emphasized the same things, but were slightly different.  I actually got a correction at barre: my ribs, of course.  In centre, we did a fairly creative adagio that felt much more like a piece of choreography rather than an exercise.  It was welcome.

I had batterie a bit later.  We selected variations that we had learned ‘out of a hat’ and ran through them as solos, duets, and trios.  I did the Bluebird variation and later the second Jewel variation that we learned.  Both went fairly well.  A photographer watched part of class and took a few pictures.  Some were during the variations and some were staged.

Finally, partnering class came around.  We ran through the pas de deux twice with two couples in each run.  Both of my bouts felt pretty good and we even got a ‘very good’ after one of them.  The lifts aren’t there yet, but we’re working hard on them.

One more class, and then the weekend!
