Round 1

Round 1

 

 

My hairstyle for Flower Festival, which Thoriso did for me :). The best coach ever!

We had to wake up at 6:30 am so that I could wake up, shower and for Thoriso to do my hair and get to the Theatre and do my make-up and do class and get ready for the performance at 12. We were 2nd to perform, thank goodness because the nerves are so exhausting! There was a guy before us and I had to turn my back to him so I could keep focused. Then the moment came where my number and name was called, the James' number and name was called (in Russian and backwards. your surname is your first name in Russian). Then there was a slight pause and then the music played... We walked onto that stage as the characters that we were meant to be and we danced our hearts out and the audience loved our artistry. They couldn't stop coming up to Thoriso and talking to him about the way we performed. People love ballet here so much and just that alone is so inspirational! After our performance we took a picture in costume (the most precious item I own) and then could relax and calm down until the results came out that evening and we made it to Round 2 (",) 

Was so special for us.
