ballet exam

i had my sub-elementary ballet exam today. damn hard!!!!
ok i'll elaborate a bit.

the exam is usually taken in pairs. but in my case it was taken by 3 ppl. tyng tyng, phey feng n me. we were the last batch. so wad exactly do we do in there? well, we have to do 14 barre exercises 1st. then there r 3 demi-pointe exercises. then we do centrework. starting wif 2 pol de bras. then we are given an several unseen enchainments(an exercise dat the examiner makes up on the spot). then we do several unseen adage. then 3 adages (arabesque, attitude & tenpes lie) then we do the 2 set adage. nxt is pirroutte, then 3 allegros then ste dance and exercise on pointe and the farewell.

so i was no.1. haihhhh so soi!!! the barre work no 1 to copy from!! then for the unseen the examiner gave us the hardest exercises(our teacher told us when we came out of the room dat ours were the hardest. the other ppl got way easier 1s.)!! like as if she have to use up all her hard questions by the last batch.

i give u 1 exp. try doin dis...... remember to keep ur bottom & tummy tucked in! standing with both feet together n turned out, slowly lift 1 foot & strech it out behind u (90 degrees)(4 beats), then without putting it down, bring dat leg from behind u to ur side ( 4 beats). then to ur front but dis time bend ur leg a lil (90 degree bend, still 90 degrees from the floor(4 beats). then stretch it out in front of u (4 beats). then step forward onto the outstretched foot on tiptoe.......remember dat ur feet have to be turned out at all times!! and bacareful of ur balance!!
*sigh* so hard until i juz terpinga-pinga dunno wad to do!

oh well, i'll find out my results tommorow. wish me luck!
