Fouettes and show rehearsals

In pointe class yesterday, we focused on fouette releves. I think I prefer the fouettes en tournant; that way, its only really possible to go 'splat!' backwards, or fall off pointe. In fouette releves, you could fall forwards over the box, backwards, or to either side. hmm. And also, my toenails were far too long, so i literally felt as if they were about to snap off. Grrr. More positively, our show is in a week's time- exciting! My costumes are nearly finished, and are lovely (except for a purple velour creation that makes my ribs, shoulders and hips look disproportionately wide.....) lol :)
