Not many news from this side of the Atlantic. The ballet school follows the timetable of the regular schools, so there won't be any classes until the end of August. I have signed up for the same two classes a week as the last semesters.

I haven't been lazy though. Since mid june, every 2.nd or 3.rd day I have done some practising at home. 10 minutes warmup, 30 minutes of mostly piruette variations, 10 minutes of strength exercises and finally 30 minutes of stretching. I have been thinking I might be overdoing it, but so far my knees haven't protested. No grande plies or grande jettes may be the explanation for that.

I have a goal this semester to be able to do basic fouette piruettes. I have this clip in my favourite internet page list: http://balletoman.com/1426-good-foue...o-yes.html#vid
