Drosselmeyer 2.0 😁 I didn't go with gigantic crazy hair for tonight's dress & tech run because I didn't really have time, but I like this colored pomade better than last year's solution of spray-in color and white highlighting powder—it's just easier. Also figured out how to hang the cape for the opening scene, even though I'm no taller than I was last year and last year I thought I couldn't reach the hook 🤷 #dancerlife #nutcracker #nutcrackerballet #balletboy #makethemagichappen #dancersofig #instance #dancestagramNo further caption needed I guess 🤣 #risefilter #balletmime #balletmemes #heartburn #owDoesn't everyone do lesson planning sitting in a really wide straddle, tho? 😅 (PS: my sinuses have calmed down marginally now that I'm not jumping up and down 🤣) #dancerlife #balletboyIt's the "my sinuses are trying to explode and I just want to survive today" face. It's usually easy for me to tell when I'm coming down with a sinus infection, because I'm addition to fatigue, sinus pressure, headaches, and nosebleeds, I get raccoon eyes 🦝 Definitely a bit of a #ZombieRaccoon today 😅 OTOH I finally remembered to ask someone to actually teach me brisée-volé, so that's a step in the right direction? 😅 #sinuses #dancerlife #NeverSurrender #blurgh #whicheverFilterso meta
For me this comes under “stuff that happened on intensive week but God help you if dynamite or cap’n marmite suddenly calls for one now”
I was having the same problem for a long time—brisée almost never comes up in class, probably because everyone’s terrified of it, but it shows up in advanced class from time to time, at intensives, and in auditions, at which point I’d grit my teeth and approximate as hard as possible.
Fortunately, BW takes requests, so now we do it all the time in his class 😀
