Feeling a bit more rested this morning but running a bit behind. I have ballet class in less than an hour.
Yesterday despite (because of?) my exhaustion I was quite pleased with my improvs for class.
Lately I have been making them a bit more like pop and blues tunes.
Easier to make them rhythmic which I find a bit more interesting.
I always try to be clear to help the dancers know where they are in the combination. Nothing too abstract.
