Ballet for Beginners; First Period [01/04].

[died8yearsago]

Back again for another week of ballet. With students who actually seemed like they wanted to learn it, too, even if only out of curiosity and skepticism.

...it was weird and Rosa didn't know what to make of it, but she was pretty sure she didn't like it.

But she was still going to do it. There were portable barres of to the side of the classroom today, so there was a pretty good hint at what they'd be working on today, and the rock music playing was definitely a departure from the standard piano pieces from last week, though kept low so Rosa could be heard over the driving bass and guttural, growling lyrics.

Not that Rosa would ever have a problem projecting her voice when she needed to.

"Today we're doing basic barre work," she informed them, because who needed greetings and preambles? "Find a spot on the floor for warm-up, and you'll bring a barre on the floor so it's easier for everyone to see as I teach you. Alright. Let's go."

[[please wait for the excessive and tedious OCD is uuuuppp!]]

Sidon was, of course, still a bit awkward with the stretching, especially the ones that required sitting that just made him feel nearly every inch of his bulk, but it was a little easier this week, especially as he'd taken the advice to practice as Ms. Diaz suggested, and that was encouraging. He was quite certain it would never feel as natural as swimming for him, but he had a feeling it would get increasingly more natural as the weeks moved on.
