Summer Intensive Plans!

Hello! In case you were wondering, I am still alive! I've just been bad on my posting. Anyway, this post is going to be revealing where I am going this summer for my intensive...
...drum roll please...
Boston Ballet!
Yes, I am going to the Boston Ballet intensive in Newton! I will be staying with some family, which eliminates the cost of boarding. Here is a picture of the place I will be taking classes (I think):

I will do posts when I get there, but that's not for a while, so look forward to more posts on other topics to come! 

Thanks for reading!

ABT Audition Review/Feelings

{insert clever and witty saying here}

Prior to the Audition
It was crazy when we got there! I could barely get into the door without squishing people already in line. Eventually, I got a registration card and filled that out while the line slo-o-o-o-w-w-wly moved along. The cool thing was that we could see the company of that studio rehearsing Romeo and Juliet...the bad thing? We didn't have the large studio. 

During the Audition
The packed us neatly at the barres, so closely that by battements, if we didn't angle, they would be at 45 degrees... combinations were simple, so focusing on technique (like usual) was my main focus. Pointe was just releves.

Results
I was accepted into the North Carolina location! Exciting, but I've heard that unless you're in the New York intensive, they won't pay much attention to the students, if that makes sense...I guess you just get classes, but you don't really make any real connection with your teachers, or something like that.

Thanks for reading!
