February 21st was fairly uneventful in the morning, I slept in and then made myself some tea and French toast for breakfast. In the evening, however, Katie and I decided to go to a gala performance of the National School of Ballet. We presented our student discount cards at the door, and our FEU cards and got our two tickets for five pesos, aka, 25 cents in total. When the curtain opened, we groaned. The stage was FILLED with tiny girls and boys doing simple plíes and arm positions. However, for the remaining hour and 45 minutes of the two hour show we enjoyed performances by students with seemingly professional skills. Watching the dancers really made me miss dancing on point. The school had a huge number of students, and I think we were the only two tourists in the entire audience, which was nice. I still would like to get myself to the national theatre to see the Cuban Ballet perform. This just wet my appetite. Also- shout out to my parents, i can only guess they must have felt through all of my recitals as i was growing up!
