THE BALLERINA SECRET LOVE
Part 1's. Sara Adams
"You're sure you got that role Sara, you looked good?" I nodded at Nicole's question. Sitting relaxes my legs with gasping breath after doing the dance.
"You know who the coreographer is. Peter Gordon, Peter just opened a job vacancy for the one who's been 'hang out' with him. I think it'll be Ashley, Emily and Meghan. I'm just trying my best, there's a Director going to be there to see the audition, so I think I'll just try."
I'm Sara Adams, 27 years old, first soloist of professional ballet NYC Ballet Company, ballet is a dream job for me, and being able to get in here is also my dream.
The NYC Ballet Company is the place where the best dancers gather. We are the best and the lucky ones from our years of education at several ballet schools in the US.
There are about 200 dancers here, the lowest rank is the corps de ballet, these are dancers who appear in the background, and the, they form a perfect union when dancing in a dance to support the main or solo dancer. We all started the professional early years of ballet in the corps de ballet.
After the years in the Corps de Ballet you will be promoted to Second Soloist and subsequently First Soloist. The recognition of your technique and hard work is so perfect that you can perform in a role that requires all attention to you.
And finally the principal, the highest level of the ballerinas. Your technical perfection, artistic talent, and determination all those years of career from a very young age will bring you here. Some of us have started ballet from the age of 4 or 5 years.
Principal is usually the face of a ballet dance company, they dance and become the main stars in famous classics, you call it 'Swan Lake', 'The Sleeping Beauty' and 'The Nutcracker'. They perform the term de ux pas used for paired dances in classic ballet perfectly, our bodies were sculpted from a young age to play the ballet princesses in the grand theater with all eyes on us.
That's why professional ballet is so competitive, you may be the best in your school, but everything here is also the best. Finally so you don't get broken you have to just enjoy it and try your best.
"I think Meghan's secured her place in a certain election, I've been watching her, she's been flirting with Peter for days."
"You are the source of gossip." I laughed in response to Nicole.
They will be working at All Balanchine, this composition will require three female lead dancers and one male. Right now I will try to do anything to get the lead role, I really need to earn some extra money for my mother's treatment, but this one doesn't seem to be for me, I have no hope at all.
"I'd rather have an audition with Nicholai Manturov, I really wanted the role." We teamed up with the Bolshoi ballet, they sent their famous and handsome principal Nicholai Manturov to perform Don Quixote. And this time our Director chose from first soloist instead of principal dancer.
"Hmm ..The handsome Nicholai. I hope you made it. I don't have a chance." Nicole is still in the second soloist. I'm three years into first soloist. "When is the audition announcement?"
"I hope you get it, I think if you get this you'll be raised to the principal. Among all your most brilliant soloists for now. Mira's retired, the director would want to find a replacement for the principal position."
"I hope so, but Katya also has a chance, she's brilliant, and young."
"I'll train even harder Don Quixote for later."
The director will select 3 candidates but what determines who will accompany Nicholai is he himself when he tries pairing Don Quixote.
So I'm after the training ground is no longer in use trying the exercises again. I have to get this role, the health costs for your diabetes make me so confused. She had no insurance, Mom was a single parent, for my education she sacrificed a lot of things. Now my only hope is to ascend immediately to the principal ballerina to just breathe.
No more rehearsals or rehearsals in many of the practice rooms, there were plenty of empty studios to wear. I'm rehearsing the Kitri section for Don Quixote that's gonna be auditioning material in a few days.
If this doesn't work, I can't go up to the principal I don't know how else. My life has never been easy, a ballerina career is promising but the road to the principals is steep.
Between those movements I felt so tired, I was chasing something I couldn't catch up with. I wanted to cry but I couldn't.
But if I stop now, there will be no hope.
"You help. Kitri doesn't have to be that sad." I didn't realize anyone else was watching me. Someone I don't know, I've never seen standing behind me.
"Ehm it's okay ..." I looked at his face, he was in a dark corner, and now I see it clearly. "Nicholai .. You're Nicholai Manturov." She smiles.
"She seems to know me." The man with dark hair is a handsome Italian man who became a principal in the Bolshoi Ballet.
