I must admit to asking my teacher on Saturday whether we looked ridiculous when she asked if we had any questions after completing a port de bras.

As a beginner i need to remind to myself mostly the last 3 ones :) I used to kind of be amused at the beginning when the teacher said: "hengitä" but now i really notice that if the exercise is hard, i do not breath!hehe so it´s good they remind it to us. The other two, i guess it´s adding a little bit of more confidence, but how hard it´s somedays! :)
