Branca and Tom were training on corde lisse for 95% of the showcase rehearsals on two separate routines - Branca with a solo routine and Tom with his corde lisse partner, Stepka, who performed together in the last showcase as well. Sadly, Stepka had an injury the last week before the show; over-working herself, I’m sure, as we all do. Thankfully, Branca was able to step in at the last minute, allowing Tom’s hard work not to go to waste. Two brave souls here, threw together quite a captivating routine, you would never have known it!
