So it turns out that Dory the fish was very wise, although she may have advised us to 'just keep swimming" in the pursuit of Nemo, her logic can be extrapolated and applied to ballet where we must keep spinning in the pursuit of the perfect pirouette.
Even if I'm not convinced that this exists.
This was certainly the case on Thursday with the return of the pirouette song: "Try Again" by Aliyah - always good for motivation!
It might be something that at first seems like an insurmountable task, but with @MlleGinger on your side, it somehow becomes possible to do a complete 360 degree turn and not fall flat on your face (at least not every single time)
It is, however, best to do this before you've attempted a grande battement exercise at the barre. This is because this exercise carries a particularly high risk of ballet-bullying by the Ginger one. This is a kind of necessary evil where your legs get put back in their place after slacking. The results of this are twofold:
1. An exponential increase in technique
2. An exponential decrease in being able to stand, much less pirouette.
You have been warned!
