Do you remember what we did last week?

temps liE effacE: tilt the head back & look toward the audience to accentuate line created by tendu leg; arms closed toward the audience; close front, front, back, back in order to begin w/ effacE each time

Do you remember what you did yesterday?

-karaoke
-came home to a bloody kitchen
-celebrated survival with coconut layered cake
-a discussion on happiness that carried on until 4 in the morning
-temps liE elancE w/ cambrE

-an adagio that really was an adagio (not an allegro adagio)
-there goes the pipe
-piquE arabesque (1st, 3rd, 2nd, 4th): to balance, relax the back to keep going up and avoid collapsing; step farther out; rib cage hangs over leg; strong piquE; visualize final image
-5th port de bras! Scooping down into 4th port de bras. Nice.
-as a rule, one cannot hold on to a noun forever; examples of nouns: barres, ballet, beloveds
-en pointe: the elastic band is more important than the ribbons; an adventurous, precarious beginning to the study of pointe
