I’d like to conclude this post with Galina Barinova, my ballet coach, and her post on Facebook before Nationals.

“To all my students, former and current, who are leaving for Nationals in the next few days – straighten your back, point your toes and spread your wings!!! I’ll be there with you in spirit. Fly high!”
