Nikita, Pirouettes, and the Good Humor Horse: May 17, 2010

I've started working on full pirouettes with Nikita. We can do them in one place, turning on 2-3 meters or so, although sometimes I get a little stuck in the middle. I'm trying to figure out the right combination of turning and slow motion needed. I'm learning that the more collected I have her before the pirouette, the easier it is to keep her on her haunches.

Everyday I get the feeling Nikita is merely humoring me. I'm waiting for her to get bored with my endeavors and drop the good-girl act.
