First Day of Ballet!

I feel like a little kid saying that, but it was my first day of Advanced 1!:) I'd had the same teacher for two years and she was great but it was definitely time for a new teacher; new styles, new ways of correcting, new kinds of combinations. Melissa Tice is my new teacher and the first day with her was amazing! I've had her for Arabian in Nutcracker, but not regular class. She worked us so hard and gave me corrections that improved my fouettes a lot. It was so great to get back to ballet. Thankfully I wasn't as out of shape as I thought, but I'm still a little sore this morning:)
I love the graceful, precise, beautiful, clean, elegant, classy way of dancing that is ballet. Ballet always makes me feel better. Especially when I finally do a certain move I've been working on. Sometimes you get those awesome moments in class that are just as great as doing it onstage. You work up to those few moments in front of so many people, but sometimes it's just as great to do it for you, only you. To prove to yourself you could do it.
Anyway, I'm already looking forward to Nutcracker now. I shooting for Doll, but I'll be happy with any part on pointe:)
Here's to the graceful year ahead! And goodluck to Lexie with the new studio and styles! You'll be amazing and I can't wait to come to your competitions:)!
