Morning:

Fever! in the morning! Fever all through the class, you give me fever...

-heel heel, shoulder shoulder, rub tummy, pat head, and eat ice cream all at the same time...in 5/4 time
-modern attitudes: table top; square; ninja
-deconstructing ballet into representative components F = f(x) + g(y) + h(z); failli developpE combo = knee knee + arm arm leg leg leg arm arm + shoulder shoulder +...

Evening:

-a Delibe-erate prelude to the class
-pliEs to the LakmE Flower Duet

Where else did you hear the LFD?

(a) the lesbian vampire scene in The Hunger
(b) the Canadian art house flick, I've Heard the Mermaids Singing
(c) Ridley Scott's Someone to Watch Over Me
(d) Andy's prank in Shawshank Redemption, for which he got 2 weeks in the hole
(e) La Vita e Bella, the song which momentarily raised the spirits of the camp dwellers
