Ballet class..

On Sunday I travelled into London, with my dance teacher, and 3 other pupils from the school aswell as me. We had all brought new leotards so we would look presentable, and made sure our pointe shoes and ballet tights where fresh! We met at 9 o'clock, and then set off. The class started at 10.30 and it was 2 hours long so by the end of the day I was exaughsted. In total there where 8 girls dancing, and then all the teachers would sit and take notes. It was taught by Miss Fish who is an amazing teacher with the way she teaches moves, and notices things. We started off with basic warm ups such as like walking around the room and running around the rooms going through our feet to make sure they where warm before we put our pointe shoes on. We then went over to the ballet bar and just had a simple warm up doing the usual stuff to get you ready for a ballet class.

After around a 30 minuet warm up it was time we put on our pointe shoes. We then just did simple things to warm our shoe up, and once we was ready we started the pointe class. It was very simple but so hard and we spent ages on the bar and talking about how each of our feet moved etc for the teachers to see. The exercises we where doing gradually got harder and harder as the class went on and we then moved into the centre of the room, and did stuff from there. I found this hard but I kept myself strong so I wouldnt fall off as we where being rushed so we felt the pressure was on! Miss Fish then gave a talk to the teachers and students which was very good to listen to as she gave us such good advise!

After this we had a christmas buffet full of yummy foods and drinks! We then set off home and had a peaceful quiet journey as we where all so tired, and just wanted to relax.
