This is Joca, and he says hi to the winger. He’s a baby! We got him a couple of weeks ago and he has grown so much since then already!

I haven’t posted in ages, because since school started I needed to organize life and such, but now apparently everything is settled down and in its tracks.

As to ballet, I’m taking more classes now, which has been quite tiring, but pretty amazing. We have started repertory classes. It’s once a week and we’ve been learning some variations from different ballets.

The first one we learned was from Flower Festival in Genzano. The footwork is rather fast, typical of Bournonville ballets.
This week we have started learning Kitri’s variation from 3rd act. I’ve been asking my teacher to do so for years and if it gets good, I might dance it in competitions. It’s my favorite variation ever (Don Q is my favorite ballet), so I am very very happy. Me and a friend are planning to make a video out of it, so I might post it here!

School is driving me insane. This is the year that we take the exam to enter universities, but I’m not really in a rush for this, so I won’t stress myself because of that. I can take another year, because I don’t want to enter it right now. So i’m dedicating this year to ballet, I guess.

I’m also involved in a project that is a United Nations simulation. I’m pretty excited about that because I really like these things. And apparently I’m going to represent US, so it’s going to be a difficult thing. Right now I’m preparing, mostly reading things.

Well wingers, for now this is it. Now that I’m back into tracks, I’ll be here more often again!
