day 3!!

2 words. muscle ache.

the contemporary dance is sorta beginning to take shape, like steps are being stringed together... but no exact structure yet. we did this bunch of steps which inspiration is seals. & e first action is really painful. its like ure kneeling, then u sorta let ur body fall towards e floor & at e last moment u bring ur hands up to break ur fall. e impact really hurts! anyway, we also did quite a bit of coming up with steps of our own. my group is meeting at 12.45 at hc tmr to practice it ):

for ballet, the usual. i really really need to work on my jumps. ugh. i hate allegro section!!! & i finally got the glisade asemble glisade jete etc. exercise right, including beat change & we didnt do it tdy ): ): what was really scary & disheartening was this allegro exercise she gave us which her students got for their inter exam. i total screwed it up! ahhhhh!!! how am i gonna pass?? ok i better start learning terms. (why do they have to be in french??) oh, we finished learning the steps for our performance item today (:

terms for the day:
1)devant (the-von) = infront.
eg. feet in fifth position, right foot devant
2)derriere(there-ee-ay) = behind
same usage as devant
