Coppélia- First Rehearsal

Back again!  Yesterday I started Coppélia practice for Waltz of the Hours.  It's a fun piece, but we're only a little over halfway done.  It will be on pointe, but we learned it on flat yesterday.  I'm glad too, because we didn't have class before it!  We also looked at our costumes for the Spring Concert which is just a few weeks away.  One is a sheer green dress, and the other is a purple leotard with a colorful wrap skirt, both with pink tights.  Well now I must go work on a paper for health.  So excited.  Bye!

Happy Birthday Anna!

Anna Pavlova, that is.  This is a bit late, as her birthday was on January 31, but I will still commemorate it.  So here is her mini bio, written by moi.
Born in 1881, Pavlova was an amazing artist who really brought ballet to America.  She was accepted into the Imperial Ballet Academy in Russia at the age of 10.  Her favorite teacher was mentor Enrico Cecchetti, who helped her until her death in 1931.  Most know her by her famous, solo, the "Dying Swan".  She toured all over the world, including stages in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Prague, and Berlin. If you want to know more about her, go here.
