Rehearsals for Cinderella started on the 11th of this months and are every Saturday. They run rehearsals from 9 - 5, but we only need to go for the times for the rehearsal of our parts. The schedule changes every week, though, so we highlight our schedules for our times, and we also need to know where (Studio1, Studio2, Auditorium, or Lower School Studio). They have two warm-up classes in the morning, one at 9am and one at 11:30am, and we go to the one before our first rehearsal. So if I have an 11am rehearsal, I'd go to the 9am class. If I have a 1pm rehearsal, I'd go to the 11:30am class. I'm a court lady, and we're only in two scenes, so we have a lot of time between classes and rehearsals. We mostly do homework, sit in the hallway and talk, or watch other rehearsals. Yesterday, we had an hour and 15 minute break, so even I bought my lacrosse stick and practiced a bit! Yesterday's rehearsal was also the first rehearsal for the court men too, so we finally got to see how the court dance is actually going to work out.
For second semester, we have two projects. The first one is for this quarter, and we have to make up at barre and center combination and teach it to the class. For next quarter, we have to choreograph a 1 - 2 minute routine to any song of our choice. I'm really excited/nervous about this one! I'm still working on choosing a song; I'm trying to narrow down my list from about 30 songs. We're allowed to mix ballet with another style too, so I'm probably going to do lyrical/ballet.
Lacrosse season is starting up next week, so posts might be less often and shorter. Hopefully I'll learn some new stretches or exercises to share with you all, though. Keep dancing!
