#one did a flying faceplant onto the mat when we were working on front handsprings

19!

19. fallen down in class?

I royally wiped out in ballet once. It was only my second or third time to ever try Italian fouettes en pointe and I’d apparently not used enough rosin. Both legs just slipped right out from under me and I landed on my butt so hard I almost bounced.

My teacher almost wet her pants from laughing so hard. 

I’m sure there were plenty of other times, but that’s the one I really remember. It was a cartoon-level wipeout.
