Updates

Well, a lot has happened since I last wrote about me getting my pointe shoes. I had a summer showcase where I did a folk character dance and I also danced "Prayer" from Coppelia (there was a soloist and my class was the "corps" so to speak). Now that the showcase is over I have started my summer classes, which is only once a week of an hour of semi private pointe and a two hour ballet class. We actually tried to do releves en pointe without the barre the other day and you should have seen me! It was like I was learning to walk again!

A couple days ago I got my year end evaluation, which I was very much looking forward to. And... I'm going to be in level 6 once ballet starts in August :) I was in level 4 (prepointe) for any of you who don't remember, and I'm basically skipping a whole year of pointe, so it's going to take a lot of work! I can't believe how far I have come since last summer.

Forgot padding to class!
