The Audition

I woke up this morning feeling like crap. and my audition was today! But I managed to pull myself together. I had been really excited for it.

I was the only one in Intermediate Foundation to show up and two Intermediates came. The rest were all Advanced.

I did pretty well at the barre. I did mess up in one of the combinations though. It was more advanced then usual but I'm good at barre so I liked it.

Center work was horrible though. It was way more advanced then I'm used to. I was so lost! I kept telling myself to smile but I was trying so hard to focus I kept forgetting.

Pointe gave us two combinations: one with échappés and the other with releve passe/develope. My échappés were fine but since I had never done passe/develope in the center before I did them on demi pointe except for the last one because it was a springing upward motion and natural to go all the way up.

The improv scenes I had done on Thursday so I didn't stress to much.

Wow some of the girls are so good! They were all better than I was...but I shouldn't compare myself to them. I'll get there...eventually.

Overall, I feel like I could have done better.
