This is really getting ridiculous, we've (for the most part) left school and other forms of higher education so why is the word revision still in my vocabulary?
Because of the Christmas ballet quiz of course.
It's coming. Thanks to @MlleGinger.
Every year in the last Thursday ballet before Christmas we have a ballet vocab quiz. You'd be forgiven for thinking this was just a bit of fun, but you'd be wrong. This is serious business. You get to hold the title for AN ENTIRE YEAR. As a certain Miss @trixiecantswim won't let us forget. Gracious winning is not a skill we practice at Dance Station - milking any bragging rights for all their worth is actively encouraged.
Hence on Thursday night we found ourselves trying very hard to remember all the terminology we've learnt over the last year. The problem is that, apparently, when you try and recall the name for something you simultaneously become almost incapable of executing it correctly. So whilst two minutes ago you were able to *perfectly* demonstrate second position with your arms, as soon you start trying to think of it as deuxième, everything goes pear-shaped (in some cases literally).
So after all this stress, when we were given the task of creating our own allegro with very little restrictions placed on the creative process, can you really blame us for getting a little carried away? All we needed were a couple of pyrotechnics and I'm pretty certain the producers of the nextbigthings' next tour would be calling us up to do the choreography. I wouldn't risk not believing me either, because otherwise we won't spend any of our earnings on christmas presents for you.
*at least in your head*
