Did you get to one? Did you go to a lot? How did you feel going in and did you learn anything new?
I'm in the middle of my local one right now. We're currently learning a variation and my instructor not so subtly hinted that she wanted me to try the variation on pointe.
Also I'm so glad my somewhat brutal open class schedule paid off. I feel much better and stronger than last year because my muscle fatigue is much less.
Top row: Nikolay Nova (Hard shank, one tack), Nikolay 3007 pro (Soft shank, one tack). Both of these are semi retired because the box isn't supportive/pulling me back. Ignore the elastics on the 3007s.
Bottom row: Nikolay Nova Flex (medium shank, no tack), Suffolk Royale (light shank, one tack)
I'm on my second pair of Nova Flex because I was sinking badly in my first pair, even after shellacing the box and the shank + jet glue. The Royales are new to me this time and I have to see how they break in.
I'm currently doing pointe during barre for my technique class. Those instructors know me and are fine with me doing pointe in their class.
I have to sew the new pairs and shellac+jet glue the box of the new Nova Flex buuuuut I don't wanna.
For some of us at least.
Make sure y'all are staying hydrated and taking care of yourselves, especially the studios that don't have climate control.
