Hey guys, this is going to be a super quick post. I was just wondering if you would like me to make a post on my placement day tomorrow? The Newton program (and probably the Boston one too) has a placement day the first day to determine the level you are going to be placed in for the program.
Are you guys interested? Comment below!

What to Bring in Your Carry-On Bag!
Hello everyone! Here is the carry-on bag post I promised! I hope that it is helpful in packing for any traveling you are doing this summer. Lets get started!
1. Gum - chewing gum on the plane helps when your ears pop. This generally happens when you take off and when you land. Yawning also helps too, but I've found its more painful.
2. Phone - if you have one.
3. iPod - or any other music playing device. I bought some new music for my iPod a few days before I left so that I would have some new music to listen to.
4. Magazines - go through each part thoroughly to make the most of it.
5. A book - if you have some summer reading you need to get done, now would be a good time, or if you've been wanting to read a certain book.
6. Lip balm - for some reason, my lips got really chapped and flakey on the plane. Maybe it was a coincidence, but I wouldn't suggest taking the chance, because chapped lips are not fun :(
7. Water - stay hydrated! It'll help you feel better, and maybe less energy-drained after the flight.
8. Snack - I know that most airlines offer free snacks, but if you get some things ahead of time, you can be sure you'll have something you like.
9. Emergency set of dance clothes - if you are a fellow dancer like I am, you know how terrible it would be if your checked luggage was lost, or just misplaced, and would get to you a week later, AND it had all your pointe shoes, leotards, tights, flat shoes, character shoes, character skirt, etc. That's why it is important to carry the bare minimum that could get you through a couple days before your luggage came. I suggest one leotard, one pair of tights, a pair of flat shoes, a pair of pointe shoes, and hair stuff (pins, hairnets, clips)
I hope this post was helpful!

Happy Summer!
Hi guys! Sorry I've been not posting at all in the last month. I know I promised, and this is making me seem like you can't trust me, and I'm sorry. I'll get into the post now :)
So, as a little follow-up to my last post, my spring concert went well, and everyone had a lot of fun performing. I'm happy I found my current studio, and I'm super excited for the years to come! But that's been over for quite a few weeks, and now school is over too and I'm officially on summer break! The last day of school was kind of difficult, because our school is pretty small, which means everyone knows everyone, and now we're all splitting up for high school. But now that school is over, it means I'm leaving for Boston in just a couple days!
So that's about it for this post. I will be making a post in the next couple days about packing, if you guys are interested. Mostly I'm planning on talking about carry-on things, and how to stay occupied and comfortable.
I hope you guys will continue to follow my blog! I really will work harder to post more often.
