My Christmas Wishlist

So you are probably thinking that it's a little early for me to think about Christmas....  Here's what I want!

                      1. A New Leotard (mine will be black)

             2. A Dance Sweater (Light Blue!)
3. Another Pair of Tights
4. An Absolutely ADORABLE Pair of Legwarmers (the black ones!
5. A New Pair of Ballet Slippers (those will probably wait till my birthday in February)

WOWSERS!!! BUSY!!!

OK, so technically, I'm not THAT busy, cause I'm on fall break. But dance wise, YES.

    Modern: So last night our teacher was at a wedding (I think!) so we had a sub, and just went over the dance.
    SC: We start rehearsal for Student Choreography TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!



And then we've been having Parent Observation this week, and next week. Real fun... Parents staring at you while you are trying dance. I only let my mom watch because she'd be heart-broken if I said no.

I think I already told you about doing ballet 3 en pointe. Let's just say that my shoes are so broken down, that I stumbled every single balance in front of 15 people (including my mom.)

Now for the happy news:
I ORDERED NEW POINTE SHOES YESTERDAY! 
I can't wait for them to come!

More exciting news!

Let's start with the great news!!! So you know that I'm doing three levels of ballet, Ballet 3, Ballet 3x, and Ballet 4. You MIGHT know that I wear deshanked pointe shoes for Ballet 3, and barre in 3x. Well NOW, I get to do those classes in my REAL pointe shoes, and go all the way up!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY!!!!

(Not to mention I'm eating a slice a pizza right now :D)

We added a lot more to our dance!!!! It's really fun! When my mom came to pick me up she said "Is that your dance concert music? You got really great music this year!!!" I'd say overall, we are doing really good considering that we have till JANUARY to learn it all!

Hello blog

WOW, it's been a long time since I've posted.

So, anyway, DANCE CONCERT (not recital) is coming up soon! It's an advanced student performance that we do in January. I will probably only be in 1 dance, but there is a possibility of being in up to 4 dances. Because of dance concert, we are going to start:


First off! We started our modern piece on Thursday! IT IS AWESOME!!!! Our dance is about direction change, and we have AMAZINGLY AWESOME music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Secondly, Today is the audition for the student pieces. Every year, the Modern 4 girls get to each choreograph a dance, and the modern 2 & 3 girls audition to be in there dance. I'm gonna audition, but I don't expect to get in. I'm mostly going for the experience.
