So I danced my midterm, and it was... okay.
I did have problems, though. I was having issues with my feet on Sunday night and throughout Monday. This meant that I was struggling to put weight or pressure on the heels of my feet, to the point where I couldn't even get my shoes on, and danced barefoot.
Some things were okay. I could do tendus alright because I could stay more on the balls of my feet, but plies were an absolute nightmare. I looked like I was attempting a grande plie but got stuck part way down.
I made a lot of small mistakes as well. A misplaced arm, the wrong direction en croix, or having my feet apart, or not quite in first (stupid heels), but I managed to not screw up too horribly badly. I think.
Sautés almost killed me though. When I was doing them, I was trying to avoid going down to low, but I'd flub, and slam one of my heels into the floor, or during the changement I whacked my heels off of each other a couple times and almost cried.
It was bloody hard, and my legs still ache, but I think overall, it could have been a lot worse, especially given the circumstances.
