- Party Children-- t he march was much better, but please keep thinking about doing each step as cleanly and precisely as you can.
- Still, some of you are "spacing out" during the doll dances. Believe it or not, the entire audience is NOT only watching the dolls dancing! You absolutely must stay alert, engaged, and focused on what is happening in front of you. I noticed a couple of you with completely blank expressions, and sort of halfway holding your arms up as if you were unaware of what you were doing.
ACT 2:
- Angels were good tonight, but some of you are still not smiling very much~ I love that you are concentrating so hard, but how about a little smile for the audience?
- Candy Canes--- we're losing the position of your parallel passe at the end of the dance. Make sure you really twist that position and then do a nice sharp soutenu, and don't go into the final pose too soon.
- Better energy in the finale, everyone, but something weird happened during the port de bras-- it looked like a dozen different versions of the timing, instead of each pair of arms moving exactly together.
