It took me a little while to build up to taking class that frequently.Rheumatic Princesshttp://rheumaticprincess.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852598541290842468.post-23909026239296840222013-08-29T06:13:13.940-07:002013-08-29T06:13:13.940-07:00Like all entries re pre-pointe class.

Last week half of the school's company dancers took barre with our Beginner II class. This morning one of the Intermediate students arrived too late for her own class so she joined ours. It's very instructive to see how the steps you're attempting to master are really supposed to look.Reecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685892465275438201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5852598541290842468.post-51932566644055518422013-08-24T15:18:16.095-07:002013-08-24T15:18:16.095-07:00Haha wow I'd love to take classes with "r...Haha wow I'd love to take classes with "real" dancers. My dream is to become professional choreographer and next spring I'll apply to various dance academies and your post really made me realize that I can get accepted as much as the other candidates even though I haven't actually studied dance in academical level :) I don't know if that made any sense :D<br /><br /><a href="http://onelesslonelydancer.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Visit My Blog One Less Lonely Dancer</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
