After a rather zzzz day at school, I had my (most probably last) ballet exam! As usual, my hair was scraped, glued then sprayed back, then a brief warm up before it was our time to go in. It was just Nicole and I this time. The examiner was very nice - she gave us plenty of (much needed) rests, and saw most things done in pairs which was good. I ended the pirouettes with the wrong arm in front, and prolly should've turned out my legs and pointed my toes a little more, but all in all, considering the amount of practice that was actually done, I think it went pretty well.
Haha, that was until the Retires and Pas de Bourrees. Basically, my character shoe broke and came off. We continued dancing but found it really hard to not laugh! I was asked by the examiner to try and get it fixed, and all we managed to do was fasten it with a safety pin. Better than nothing, I continued the rest of the exam with a pretty broken shoe!
