Pointe Awesomeness!

Oh My Gosh! Guess what! My pointe teacher just gave me a ballet dictionary! I have been planning on getting one but having to pay for the intensive has put a hold on anything that I wanna buy. And I mean its small and it's not amazing but still I'm so elated! She is awesome! She also lent me her gigantic ballet dictionary that has definitions, explanations and pictures of like every part of the move, but I only get that for a week. I am so incredibly happy!

Random pain

So randomly, during one of my treks around my house at 2 in the morning, my knee, like, kills. No warning, just a shooting pain as I walk down the hall. So I iced it and hopefully its cool now, but you never know. Especially tonight, when my body isn't happy with me.

Return to dance

Yay, I'm back on pointe! It was fun. I hate skipping. I feel so lazy when I do. I kinda freaked out at the beginning of class cause doing plie's, my knee was like hinting at hurting and I was just like, 'please don't hurt' :-( and then it was cool after that :-)

So my mom accidentally ordered an extra costume for the beginner ballet and it's I'm my size and Kimmy's size so she said if we wanted we could join the dance so we got some use out of it. Of course Kimmy had to rain on the parade by saying that the teens in that class probably wouldn't like it if the owners kids came into the dance cause they felt like it without taking the class all year. I mean, that makes sense but I don't like it cause I wanna do more dances. :-( It sucks when your sister is right.

. . .

My knee's better . . . yay. I didn't have a very good weekend so that's pretty much the highlight. That and today I only have to dance for one and a half hours instead of three cause my teacher's in Disney Land so we're having performance team practice instead and the younger kids are coming in for the first hour and a half. Plus I like this teacher better.

My knee isn't better . . . it sucks. No pointe this week so . . . it sucks. The only good thing is that I get to hand out costumes for my kids today. Yay! I love it! they look so adorable. I picked out some amazing costumes if I do say so myself ;-)

Last night I was read a blog about a girl who went to Ballet Magnificat! and I'm not sure if I'm looking forward to this as my first intensive, it sounds really intimidating. This girl was at the top of her studio and she ended up in the second level up (it was level 5 but she said something about levels 1-3 not being a possibility) So I'm not even best in studio (that would be my sister :-P, yeah that's a joy) so I'm kinda scared that I'm gonna be at like level -5.

Getting to Know Me

This is going to be all about my, at the moment, almost non-existent dance career. Hopefully I will manage to keep it up over time cause that would be really cool to look back on.

First things first Me
1. I am 16
2. My favorite dance is Ballet/Pointe (Yes, I am crazy, I do like pointe)
3. I also dance Jazz, Tap, and Lyrical
4. I Do Not dance hip hop (No offence but I hate it, at least when I do it. I admire really good hip hoppers, or whatever you call them, cause some of that stuff is SUPER hard)
5. I am going to my first intensive this summer for a month in Mississippi (Before you ask, it's a Christian company, that's why)
6. I'm Christian
7. I'm a studio brat
8. I'm not really good but I wanna be
9. That doesn't mean I suck, I'm a decent dancer
10. When my first studio closed down my dad got annoyed with my sister, my mom, and me for complaining about other studios not measuring up that he started a studio for us
11. I live in Arizona where there are practically NO dance opportunities
12. I take private pointe lessons cause I am the only one at my studio who wants to do pointe

On to the blog portion . . .

This Monday, while dancing I pulled something in my knee (Worst place to get hurt in my opinion) and so if it isn't a lot better by tomorrow I have to call off pointe which I really don't want to do cause not last week but the week before that I had to call it off cause I was in bed sick. I really hate skipping classes of anything even if it is for a good reason.
