:: Perfectionist? ::
Somehow I wasn't satisfied with myself. I didn't came in exactly on the second beat of "Let...Heaven". My steps aren't sharp enough as yet. When I took a video of myself, I didn't like what I see. It's just not good enough. And I keep doing it everyday. Everyday's video has a difference. Alamak.. But I think it's getting better. If I have a video of the entire steps that will be good (only for me, bcoz the rest won't be as free/wu-liao as I am to watch it and practice).
But thank God I can grasp the steps very fast, although I didn't perfect or sharpen the steps that fast. Am I a perfectionist or what? Must it be that good afterall? I just can't let it off if it's of mediocre standard. I don't know why. Same for academics. Sloppy work I'm not interested in, unless I know that it's already the best I can give. Haha...
On Sunday's practice, Victoria mentioned a term for the turns we were supposed to do, and I went to ask Jane further for the spelling of the term, haha. And then, I found this on wikipedia.
Chaines / Chainé turns / Chaines turns
See Glossary of ballet terms#Chaînés.
French for 'chain', this step is a turn with the body held in a static 1st, taking half a turn from one foot to the other. Many put together in a sequence form a chain of small turns.
Chaînés (ballet term)
This is a common abbreviation for tours chaînés déboulés, which is a series of quick turns on alternating feet with progression along a straight line or circle. They are also known as chaînés tournes. In classical ballet it is done on the pointes or demi-pointes (on the balls of the feet).
Basically we're moving towards our right for both of the turns at "...Hosanna" and "Lift up your voice and sing". Hence, it's also clockwise. Haha.. Alright...this has become very theoretical. Unfortunately I can't find any videos or pics of chaines to upload here.
