I've got the funk
That's right, I've got the funk. Do you have the funk?
You know, the post-recital funk. Up to and right after the last performance, I had big plans to take a bunch of summer classes and continue to improve. I haven't been to a class since my ultra-beginner class last week. My pointe shoes have been in my car since the recital! Gah this isn't good.
I made a lot of progress, and I know how bad one week can be in terms of regressing to bad habits. I have a barre in my house that I built, but I need to fill it with sand or something, it's too light. I have been stretching occasionally, but I still want to improve my flexibility. I've also secretly been indulging in old food habits... too much fast food and a LOT of KitKat bars. They are so good though!
I think, to be honest, I was just really tired. And sore, oh, yes the soreness was bad and lasted for a couple weeks. I'm not sore anymore, but I did get a cold and I've been super lazy. This is bad, this is what I always do! Unacceptable.
I bought that book, 100 Lessons in Classical Ballet-- now would be a good time to pick that up and start using it as I intended. I've got the pointe shoes that fit right, and performing showed me I can do a lot better during my classes.
Alright, I suppose I'll get off my arse and get moving again!! If you are also stuck in the funk, I hope you find your way out. :)
Happy Dancing!
