Dress Rehersal

So,



elbow=feeling better



everything else=sore and mad at me.



We had our dress rehearsal for our performance this Saturday and my sister and I are in every other dance so we have all of about 2-3 minutes to change costumes and shoes. All in all it wasn't bad . . . the first time. Then we were going to do it again after a break to we could get the costumes we had just thrown everywhere in some kind of order, get a drink and be somewhat ready for the next round. But, we found out that one of the younger girls had to be out of there earlier so as we come out of changing and sorting costumes as fast as we can so we can relax a little and get a drink, our mom goes, "Hurry, Dani has to get out of here early!" So we skip a drink and go and dance everything over again. And let me tell you, these dances are tiring! Plus every time we finished a dance and were running down the hall to change the younger kids who were 1. being helped by two experienced moms, and 2. should have been starting their dance already, are complaining about how hard this is and how tiring. I wish I could have stopped and said, "You wander around and leisurely change costumes while Kim and I are running out of a dance and rushing to change, Deal with it!" But I didn't, cause I'm nice.

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 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.
