More Nutcracker News!

Hi guys! I just wanted to make a quick post about the Nutcracker production I'm in this year. In my last Nutcracker post, I talked a bit about how I was a little disappointed to just be in Snow (which as we've continued it, it's really fun!), but I was still going to work hard, and know my understudy part for Flowers, etc. Well, yesterday, during rehearsal, when we were having studio switch-around so people could rehearse some pieces in the second act, the artistic director told me he needed two more people in Spanish, so now I'm a Spanish dancer too! I'm really excited to be a part of the second act, because I love all the little dances and the fun costumes that come with it.

I think I'll leave it at that...I have homework....

It's October?!

Oh my goodness! I can't believe it's already October! I have finally survived my first month of school...ick. I'm not a big fan of school, but I can't wait for high school next year! 
Since my blog is about dance, I suppose I should post about dance...well, I'll post about the Nutcracker!  So far, rehearsals for Snow are fun, since we've added more to the dance. It kinda sucks for the rest of rehearsal I'm not actually full out dancing, but whatever. Learning Flowers is good, even if I never go on (which is incredibly likely. I'm an understudy for the real understudy), because there's a good chance I can be in it next year, so it's nice to get a feel for it. 
There was also an online packet thing-y that was sent out mostly for the parents about how they can help with the Nutcracker, and what the kids need and stuff. They want us Jr. Company people to have makeup by Ben Nye, which I haven't heard of before. I looked it up, and it seemed like good makeup...it's actual stage makeup, which is probably why we "need" to have it. Have any of you guys heard of it? Is the quality good?

How's dance - or skating ;) - going for you guys? Comment below! I love hearing from you!
