My ballet teacher wants to put me in a recital!

A RECITAL.  You know, where you perform in front of people.  The recital isn't until June but you have to understand that I am the queen beginner of all beginners.  If there was ever an inexperienced adult ballet student, it would be me.  I have zero dance experience.  I never danced when I was younger and knew absolutely nothing about ballet before I started taking classes in Sept.  But here I am, thinking about performing in a recital!  (Albeit a tiny recital probably at a libra

So I have no idea what my teacher has in store for me as far as choreography but she knows my limitations so I know it will be a nice simple (and hopefully short) piece, but I'm still incredibly nervous. 

The first thing she asked me to do was to pick the music or performance I liked, so I finally found this one:

Nutcracker- pas de deux



It's at the end of the Nutcracker.  Yes I know it's a piece for a couple to perform but she said she can alter it to be just for me.  I LOVE the music and I always have and it's nice and SLOW so I figured it would be easy to choreograph.  So, we'll see! I'll keep you guys posted!

I know my weak points are my lack of flexibility (relatively speaking) and my inability to execute nice pirouettes so we'll see what she thinks of for me.

In the meantime I will continue working on my technique!
