The last day!

July 28, 2008

My last classes were today!

First, I had ballet class with Mr. Lyons.  It was so-so.  I got a few compliments on my better placement and a few corrections, too.  The class was very similar to yesterday’s, which was nice so I could focus on corrections that I had gotten over the past five weeks.

Afterwards, I had my last Forsythe class.  We worked on the combination that we learned a few classes ago.  After that, we tried to exagerate our movements in it.  Then, we went over the spacing and patterns of the movements of the choreography.  This morphed into just walking around the room and making connections with other people, and later into improvising using the steps, ideas, and technique found in the choreography.

My very last class was batterie/variations with Mr. Maynard.  We worked on the usual steps and combinations for the batterie portion of it, then we did duets of the Tchaikovsky variation we worked on most recently.  Since we had time left, we ended with more batterie combinations that we had skipped today.

Once we got back to the dorms, we mostly hung out and lazed for the better part of the night.  We had another sleepover (minus the sleepover), too.  This is more fun and exciting that it really sounds, but I’m super tired and it was two days ago anyway.

That’s a super-blurry picture of Allie and I… yay!
