Double Down

Did a double pirouette the other day!
Couple of them!
It went like this:
Before class Smirnoff was all, “My Dear! How are you!” and I was all, “Allergies! Not very good!” and he was all, “Are you dizzy!” and I was all, “No, just feeling kinda bleh in the head!” and he was like, “Ok! Let’s get to work!”
So then we were doing the barre pirouettes, which, like, sometimes I can kinda nail and sometimes I end up catching the barre in order to not fall over and never know which it’s going to be ahead of time, and sometimes Smirnoff calls out things at the last moment to each of us to focus on and this time he called out, “Look to your hand and follow it! Don’t let it go alone!” so I looked at my hand in preparation and then followed it and then noticed that the barre had just gone by a second time and grabbed for it out of surprise. And was like, “woah.” and then did it again, meanwhile Smirnoff is calling, “Don’t grab for the barre! Keep going!”
And then he stopped the music and had me do another while everybody watched and he called out, “You see? You are turning consistently now! When your allergies are gone, you will do triples!”
And I was like, “um, yeah, about that…”
