Last Wednesday, in ballet, I landed my first triple pirouette ever! Even better, I didn’t fall out of it, I came down with (nearly) perfect control. A pirouette is the most famous of the ballet moves, where one leg is brought up to the knee as the dancer spins in a circle. A single pirouette is where the ballerina spin in a circle once, in a double she spins twice, and in a triple she turns in three complete circles. I have done singles and doubles before, but I had never even attempted a triple. The dance teacher called out, “Do as many turns as you can.” I did, and surprised myself.
