New Instructor, New Style

New instructor direct from the Bolshoi. I have gotten used to a new teacher giving a little leeway with a new student as we learn each other’s tastes and expectations. Think she gave me three barre exercises before and then she started giving minor corrections. It was pretty much a technique class but it was really interesting to see the difference in expectations from a teacher who has trained with the Bolshoi to one trained with Perm. Bolshoi is about artistry as it is strength, Perm is about technique and strength.

First Post

My first Summer Intensive is less than a week away and I find I'm getting excited and nervous about going. Unlike the teens I see at the various studios I take classes at I have never have spent an entire day taking classes let alone for two straight weeks. Guess I'm going to finally find out a little of what a professionals life is a little like, less the political drama, and if my body will hold up. I plan on notifying family members which hospital flowers can be sent to.
