October: Kara Ko


October: choose one class that you are taking this year and let us know what you are learning, what type of tests, assignments, projects, you are having, etc.

Hello everyone! One of my favorite classes that I am taking this semester is Contemporary Ballet. I take this class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00-10:45AM. Yes, it is quite the early morning class but it honestly wakes me up. For most part, it is like taking regular ballet class at your studio or high school, however we do have midterms and final exams. For example, our midterm consisted of three combinations (a tendu phase, a pirouette phase, and a petite allegro phase). My professor randomly chooses our groups, which included three dancers total. However the petite allegro combination was a solo, so we had to perform alone. There was also a written potion where we had to write down the ballet term and definition as my professor demonstrated. For me, the hardest part was writing down the entire tendu phase. I believe I wrote down two pages of that. Anyways, I really enjoy this class because the dancers in there really push me to become better and improve on my technique.
