Swim

I learned to swim yesterday. Thanks to Ballerina 24. you help me with so much. Now swimming  is hard, it may not be for those of you who have been swimming all your life. But I have been swimming for two days. Today, for some added fun, we recreated jaws. Fun, I know.    

Costumes

I find that every year the costumes that we get for recital aggravate me. They are always ugly, blue or pink, and no matter how high up you get they are unflattering on any and every body type. And that is how it always will be, I guess. Sad, I know.

Recital Prep.

Recital, two weeks of the year where you get closer to your friends than your family. 14 days of long hours, food, and dance. Recital is a show showing all the work you've done in  the past year. It shows how you started the year, and how far you have progressed since than. I love recital and can't wait!

(If only our costumes were that pretty.)

Summer

This summer is going to be the best yet. I not moving, changing schools, or changing friends. I will be volunteering at a special education summer school, and taking dance classes at a studio. Finally, but I am paying for them. Still a great summer ahead. Not to mention that I am going to learn to swim this summer, I must. It's ridiculous that I don't know already, so this summer I will.

Pointe Shoes!!!!

So, today after pointe class my friends (against my wishes) told me to ask our ballet teacher when I will be ready to go on pointe. I am very happy I asked, because he said that I can start in the fall!!! I am so happy, thank you to my friends that forced me to talk to him. Excitement....
