Amongst the ubiquitous black and pink, a blue sky walked into the studio and took her place at the wall barre. She lit up the entire room.

-working leg leads compression/decompression of supporting leg's plie
-deepening the plie: to have room to deepen the plie, must start with a shallower plie; deepen plie in fondu adagio; deepen plie in fouette
-the fouette has left the barre; we are left to grab at thin air
-giant wheel pirouettes: a lesson in taking imagery too literally
-"corset" higher for cambres on sus-sous

The yoga blocks were revealed to be fragments of her being, as blue and vibrant as she.
