Quick Update

Hey everyone! I know it's been a little while, but I have been so busy lately! We only have four weeks to get our Godspell show together, and time has flown by so incredibly fast-yesterday was the end of our second week. I actually have to choreograph a dance to the musical part (interlude?) of All Good Gifts, so that is something I will be working on this weekend.
Sorry to make this post short-is there anything that you would like me to post on? Please comment below!
Bye!

Godspell!

Hello everyone! As the title says above, I will be posting on my experience in my theater intensive today. So, first off, I'd like to say this isn't you average summer theater camp where you have a week to sorta learn the songs, put some cool-ish dance moves to them, and call it a show. No, this is an intensive, meaning it's hard work, where the songs have to be near perfect, our diction has to in tip-top shape, and we have classes twice a week to help with acting. But the best part of all of it? I LOVE it!!! We're three days into it, have learned about six of the songs, and worked on some blocking (which, if you don't know, is how we move around the stage, and where we are in a scene...and stuff like that).
This thing is also four weeks long, so it's going to be a lot of serious hard work and focus that has to be on point every minute. Godspell is also such a fun show (with the tendency to be repetitive), so it's hard not to have fun!

I hope you guys enjoyed this post! I'll definitely post more later, whether it's about Godspell or dance, I don't know.
Bye!

ARGH!!!!! SO Sorry!!!

Hello everyone! I'm am mentally slapping myself, because I forgot my promise of more posts this week! But I'm posting now, and starting tomorrow, I will have way more to blog about, although it won't all be about ballet/dance. Tomorrow starts my summer musical theater intensive that I talked about way back when I auditioned for it. As I said then, the musical we will be doing is Godspell, and I am so excited!!! 

Here's what I'll try to do: weekly updates on what's happening in the intensive/camp and on ballet/dance. I am currently taking 4 ballet classes per week, and 1 lyrical class.

This is a real promise! I like blogging a lot, and if anyone cares what my summer life is like, and reads this blog, then they are going to be filled in on a lot. 

Okay, so before I go, I want to talk a little bit about my lyrical class. I am taking an advanced lyrical class with the most stupendarific teacher ever! What I'm really excited about, though, is the little combo that we're working on (not to perform, just for fun), because the music is.....................wait for it.....................still waiting..........................................................................stiiiiiill waitiiiiiiinngg..............Call Me Maybe!!!!!!!!!!! OMIGOODNESS, it's just so fun!!! (Sorry my sudden outburst, if it sounds annoying or dorky :P) We get to be all flirty and cheesy, and our recital performance for beg./inter. lyrical was so serious, almost sad, so it's fun to loosen up for the summer.

Okay, I think that's all for today! I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and look forward to more coming soon!

First Class Back!

Hello everyone! Today I felt like making a (short) post, and I wasn't sure what to post on...and then I remembered that this past week I had my first ballet class at my regular studio since the June recital. So I'm going to post on that.
The class was last Monday, so yes, it has been about a week, but I can still remember it so that's good. Summer classes are always small, but that day it was only me and another girl. Thankfully, our teacher understood that we hadn't had the opportunity to dance for the last couple weeks, so she worked us a slight bit less than a regular class, say, halfway through the school/dance year. But the class was still challenging, and I was very happy to be back. I was sweating a lot by the end, and my calves hurt for the next couple days, but it was, in a way, refreshing.
This next week is my first full week of dance. Usually, I will have two other classes at my regular studio on Tuesday, a lyrical and another ballet, but since Wednesday was the Fourth of July, the studio was closed (and I was camping, so I wouldn't have been able to go anyway). I also am taking some open classes at another place Tuesdays and Thursdays to help maintain all the training I gained over this past year, and maybe gain some, because this schedule is different than my one that I had during the school year.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Just an update post mostly. More posts coming this week, and that won't be a forgotten promise!!! :)

P.S. Still thinking of creating that other blog mentioned in my last post...should I? I might just go ahead and make it.
