Festival

   Last Saturday we had festival (competition). I am part of a group piece that one of our teachers choreographed. It is neoclassical and I really love it. Actually I always love his choreography, and his choice of music, style e.t.c.  It is always very powerful, and beautiful.
   The competition has been going on for a couple of months. We previously won first place in the ballet category so we went on to the "no borders" category. Which meant that we were up against all types of dancing. Jazz, hip hop, tap, break dancing, contemporary, everything! It is a really fun competition to watch because there are so many different types of dance to see. We got to watch after we had performed and were really impressed by everything!
     Then came the adjudication.
    We were pretty nervous, no one felt like we had performed very well and the other types of dance were so good! 3rd place was a different ballet/modern group, 2nd was a break dancing group that we expected to win. And the our group was announced. 1st place!!! We were very surprised!!!
    We had to perform against 3 other groups later that night for the "Grand Champion Prize". We didn't win although our performance went flawlessly, but most of us did not feel bad about losing because the group that won was amazing. It was a group of 6 young boys... break dancers. You would never guess they were so strong. They were doing back flips, tons of tricks, their timing was perfect, and their attitude was really great.  They were all soooooo enthusiastic on stage. They had everyone cheering and clapping along.  I really thought that they ought to win. I mean it is all taste, how do you judge classical ballet vs. break dancing? + They really deserved to win. Well that's all for now, I hope I didn't bore and confuse you too much! I'm just going to go off and practise my back flips.

    Jk, but I was stretching my feet while writing this. I stretch my feet underneath my chest of drawers almost every night. My feet used to be really, really bad but I stretch them a lot and do a lot of theraband exercise and they are much better now.
    Svetlana Zakharova's feet are amazing! She has such gorgeous feet. And legs, and body, and everything! I wish...
