Variations!

Thursday I learned my first variation! It's the Giselle variation from Act 1. We started with a 90 minute ballet class, and then did 30 minutes of variations. We did most of barre and all of center en pointe, and due to my dead shoes, I was pretty burned out by the time we started the variation. We did the actual variation in flat shoes though, because otherwise we would be doing hops on pointe (which are preeetty hard). Hopefully I'll be able to get fitted for gaynors this weekend, but I'll have to take a bit of a trip to get to the store that properly fits them.
