Monday, August 9/10
I arrived at the school this morning at about 8:40am and started warming up for ballet. Our teacher's name was Kelly and she is a really sunny happy person. The class went really well. Then we had modern with Clair I think her name was and she brought in a guy named Ian to play the drum for us. It was very different and really down to earth movement and I really enjoyed it. I've never taken modern before and I am excited to take more of it. This one time we were going across the floor doing a series of movements, I got to the other end and she came up to me and looked at me name tag and said, "Oksana... very good job!" I was so happy! I can do modern and not look dumb!
Then we had lunch and it took me a while to find the cafeteria, I got lost.
We had variations after and I had no clue what it was and I still don't quite know. All I know is that it's ballet and you are supposed to have pointe shoes but for the first few days we are just going soft shoe. It was really hard and fast.
Then last but not least we had jazz with Lorie. It was fun and we had a nice stretch and did steps across the floor. It was then when I realized that almost everyone there were pretty ballerinas doing jazz and looked like they haven't take much jazz in their life.
Anyways I really enjoyed my day and after we went to our hotel that we moved into and had a nice birthday dinner for mom. Happy birthday mom! Now dad left to go back home and work and I think I'm going to go into the hot tub tonight!
