Two Weeks of Classes ALREADY?

Can you believe it? We are already two weeks in! So here's the status:

Ballet 4x: We're doing end of the year Ballet 4 stuff right now, which is kinda boring. I'm ready to dive into 4x!!!

Ballet 4: We are doing end of the year 3x, and I've done 3x twice already, so once again, I'm ready for some ballet 4 material. However, I get to do barre en pointe this year!! That's always fun! We are also doing my favorite Pirouette combination, not to mention I get to demonstrate like EVERYTHING!

Jazz 5: I LOVE THIS CLASS! There are only five of us in there, and we are all pretty good friends. Jazz 5 is the second to last level in Jazz, we learn all the rest of the hard moves at the beginning of the year, but then we work on technique the rest of the year. We already started fouettes, now we just need to do faxels and switch leaps!

Modern 3: I did this class last year, and it's been pretty easy so far, but hopefully we'll learn some new stuff, and it will get harder.

Tap 3: Once again, little bit easy, but hopefully it will get harder.

Creative Movement: Wow, pretty much every kid is 3. That makes it hard, CAUSE THEY ALL CRY! Thankfully, I've worked with Creative Movement, so it should get better.

Tap 1: There has only been one class, but it was a lot of fun! I love the C-R-A-Z-Y teacher, and the H-Y-P-E-R kids, and then I get a little bit overly E-N-T-H-U-S-I-A-S-T-I-C... It's pretty fun.

 

Not Sure of a Title...

I can't think of a title at the moment. I don't want to update on dance right now. Do you ever notice that a lot of times, You don't realize how much you love someone until they're gone?  First, my old tap teacher, I was never "close" to her, and then the day came when she told us that she wasn't gonna teach anymore, I didn't realize that I loved her so much until I went home crying.

Now one of the best youth leaders (at church) is leaving the staff. Youth Group is probably (for me) the hardest part of middle school, because I don't have a lot of friends there due to the fact that I always have dance during the "bonding" activities. Even though my dad is a deacon, and my mom used to be on staff as the elementary coordinator at church, most the leaders and kids don't even know my name. This one leader, was one of the few people who knew my name. I never talked to her that much, or really knew her that well, but I think that just the fact that she knew my name made a difference to me.

What's Inside My Dance Bag?

Hey everyone!

So lot's of people are doing videos about what's inside their backpack for the start of school. So I decided to do a video about what's inside my dance bag! Enjoy!

 

Eeeeeeek! So sorry!

Oh my goodness! I just saw that I haven't posted in like, 3 weeks! Sorry for leaving you guys hanging like that!

Anyway, so, what's up with me, is I'm VERY busy with dance and stuff. Our Company choreography is much much harder than what we normally do, and it's taught at much different paces then everything else. Company camp is over, and we are on our one week break between Company and regular classes.

REGULAR CLASSES START ON TUESDAY!!!!!! (Which is also my mom's birthday :o)

So here's the countdown:

 5 days until Creative Movement Assisting, Ballet 4 and Pointe 2!

 6 days until Jazz 5!

1 week until Creative Movement Assisting, and Modern 3!

1 week and 2 days until Normal Company Rehearsal!

1 week and 4 days until Ballet 4x, Pointe 3, Tap 1 Assisting and Tap 3!

For those who are wondering, I am at the studio from 3:30-8:00 on Mondays. :)

As for other news, my mom and I have been training for a 5k charity run this summer. And we are running it on Labor Day! I'll be sure to tell you about that when it happens!
