Day 2 at FFIN DANCE began very differently to day 1. It began with meeting the current company dancers: Effie, Megan, Mike and Catrin.

I watched Megan teach class and saw that the dancers treated her with the utmost respect and the relationship between the dancers was fantastic. They laughed and had a good time together but when it came to it the dance they produced in the 6 hours I was there it was amazing.

Alice Ridding from 3VTV came in to the rehearsal and showed us a documentary that she had created about the Assistant to the Director of FFIN DANCE, Megan. The content and quality of the video was fantastic and was a real insight to the life of a FFIN dancer (the Documentary can be viewed soon on 3VTV)

The second part of the day was focused on repertory (of the two pieces 5 Dances and Synapsequence.  I saw how the dancers worked together as a whole to polish and perfect each piece and tighten the unison work.

Today has been a great way of looking into the dancer’s world and great in discovering how a dancer’s average day would be. This has pushed me into the knowledge that this is the way I would like to take my life and become a professional dancer. I will report on tomorrow’s discoveries very soon.
