The Adult Beginner makes a Bold Prediction

Lately in class instead of-
developé to the side, fondue, kick out to the front and immediately keel over with a violent unpredictability, threatening bodily harm to myself and my long suffering barre-mates and maybe even the people out in the hallway, ending with both feet coming down hard on the floor any-which-a-way,
instead of that-
it’s developé side, fondue, pause, gather myself, turn my head, ready my arm, and then drive my supporting heel down hard to pop it back up while I pull up and whip everything around for a quick save by grabbing the barre, followed by the happy discovery that my working leg managed to stay in passé and my supporting leg is still in relevé!
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So here’s my Bold Prediction:
I predict that I will pirouette in one month.
A real, proper, correct pirouette.
One month.
