YAGP this Weekend

The bodice and tutu are completely finished - a definite stretch of my sewing abilities, but fortunately blood on a costume is considered good luck in the ballet world!

Anna had some great run-throughs yesterday after rehearsing since the fall.  Here she is coming out of 13 turns on the diagonal (that's a lot of turns on pointe and she doesn't look the least bit dizzy!)...

She even had some time to mess around and stretch before going home last night...

We're heading down to Torrington today after lunch.  Send all your positive thoughts to Anna tomorrow (Saturday) morning.  According to the schedule, we think she'll be performing her variation sometime between 10:45 and 11:15.  Good luck Anna!
