Ottawa Tour - First Day of Rehearsals

So today was the first day of rehearsals at The National Arts Center!

We started our day with class on stage. From here we were able to see the entire house in front of us. The theater is absolutely incredible!

After our warmup, we had a short break to change into our costumes while the children participating in our production from Ottawa could rehearse Angels, the opening of Act 2.


Next, it was time to move on to the rest of the Kingdom of Sweets!

After we all perform our divertissements, its time to watch the Sugarplum and Cavalier...

Brooke Moore and Francis Veyette

At 5:00, we went on our dinner break. It gave us a little chance to explore a bit more of Ottawa, but only until 6:30, when we return to rehearse Act One.

Tomorrow is a big day! Its opening night, but before that, we have our first dress rehearsal with the orchestra. It's always such a wonderful experience dancing to the live music. It really brings out a different side of me as a dancer that is incomparably enjoyable!

Until tomorrow....
