i totally agree with you about the arms and epaulement, and was fearful during her fouettees!

[pediatrapaola]

never heard about her thanks for posting ,interesting as usual

[nickwallacesmith]

hi pediatrapaola - yes, she seems to have slipped through the cracks a bit - but was obviously there at the centre of things, being massine's wife and all

Love this post, her vocabulary was limited, but those bourees certainly weren't!!!

[nickwallacesmith]

hi Qbendanny - yes, i love the points so close and take such small distances for each step in the bouree

The arms and epaulement are really weak, and the fouette technique is scary.
