A Little of Everything...

Ahh, Lots to post about today... Where shall I begin. I'll just go through my whole week I guess.

Creative Movement: They have a SUPER adorable dance! It's the sweetest thing I have EVER seen a Creative Movement class ever do!!! I already told you that they are dancing to "Lollipop" by The Chordettes, but it's a different version and they are wearing Lime Green Tutus!!!

Ballet 3: Originally we were going to dance to a Russian song, but it was just WAAAY to fast, so my teacher picked out some new music, and asked the director if he could change. She said OK, and I LOVE our new music. I'll try to find out the name of the song for y'all. Also, we are dancing with these really cute and sparkly lollipops! In some parts of the dance we *pretend* to lick them!

Ballet 3x: We have the same song as Ballet 3, so it's also quite cute. We get to come out doing my favorite combination!

Ballet 4: This is the class that we are doing the Character dance for! We are Veruca Salt's classmates! Our costumes are Neon Pink character skirts and white blouses. Anyway, the dance is really cool, and fairly simple. Although, we don't have the real character shoes yet, but we will probably get them this week or next, and I've heard that it's a lot harder with Character shoes...

Tap: Our teacher was sick last week, so the director came and taught. It was really fun! She taught us some interesting (and confusing) rythymns.

Jazz: I love this dance! Despite the fact that we are oompa loompas, it's really fun!

Modern: YIKES. We had a rehearsal with Modern 4 on Tuesday. They have HUGE color guard flags, and we have do everything we can to not get hit with them. When we practice by ourselves though, it's a lot of fun!

Pre-Ballet: They're dance is so sweet! Although, as much as I'M scared about getting hit by a flag, I'm even MORE scared that my sweet little Pre-Balleters will get hit!

More Music!

Yes! More about music! I like to post about music, cause I can let you listen to it!

Anyway, so lately in modern, we have each been choreographing a solo about a picture. Here's mine:

(I do not own this picture)

My concept, is that you're living your life pretty normally, and some how, you get stuck for a while and you're miserable, and then you learn to accept things for the way they are, and then finally you get released and you live your life in a better, more full out way then before you got stuck.

Like I said we have been working on these for a while, so we had quite a bit of choreography without music. Yesterday, my teacher picked a song for us to put our choreography to, and to help us finish. My song is from the Slumdog Millionaire sound track.  The song is a little more dramatic than I originally intended it to be, but I like it!
