Update and Nail Polish!

Hello! This will be a sort of update, and I want to talk about some nail polish! 

Okay, update first: I haven't been posting much lately because...I don't have a lot to post on. I might do a recital series in June, or late May, consisting of stage makeup, warm-ups, etc...if there is anything else I should have, comment down below :)

Now, nail polish! On Instagram, I stumbled upon a picture that I accidentally clicked-well, tapped-on. It happened to be a giveaway, and I noticed right away that there nail polishes in it by OPI, and it was an NYCB* collection! I'll post a blog post I found about them...if you don't care to read it, basically all the colors are pretty sheer, but they have cute names, as usual.

I don't know if they are still available, but I want to try to get my hands on them for the dance aspect of them. If I do, I might post pictures :)

I'll try to post more often, if I can think of anything to post on! Bye!

Swan Lake Rehearsal

I found this video on YouTube about (I think) the Royal Ballet rehearsing a part in Act III of Swan Lake. I think it's really interesting to see the thought process of the choreographer, and to see the dancing without the glitz of the costumes, though that is always interesting.

Bye!

Wicked

...it was the best experience ever...it's really hard to describe...just go see it...unless you hate musical theater...which I just don't see how that's possible...so anyway, if you really want a full review, I'll do one...but it's hard to put it into words...don't judge the Wicked Witch of the West UNTIL you see Wicked...ok, I must go.

Bye! :)

Portland Trip!

Yep, I'm in Portland! Once a year my family takes a weekend off and drives to Portland...the staying in the car for three straight hours isn't fun, but I like staying in a hotel, and going to new places with good food or things to do. Plus, I get to experience my birthday present, finally, here in Portland. Tonight, I'M SEEING WICKED!!! I may love ballet, but I also love musical theater...I sort of get the best of both worlds now, dancing afternoons in the school year, and then doing a musical theater intensive in the summer, where we put on a really fun show...I've already blogged about it a lot...you know, Godspell. But back to the best of both worlds thing, I'm glad that I don't have to choose what I want to pursue for my future yet, because I need these next five years to figure that out.

I'll keep updating on Portland, and I'll dedicate a post to Wicked (AKDJGLKEJGLDKNLDKAVLKJG!!!!!!!!!!!!!) explaining how amazing I already know it'll be :) 

Update + Swan Lake + Hunger Games

Hi everyone! I'm already punishing myself for not posting...but I don't really know what to post about. I also have been pretty busy with homework, essays, dance, and voice lessons homework.

Ok, onto more interesting things! So, it has been informed of me by a fellow blogger that our big ballet company is doing SWAN LAKE NEXT SEASON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Last year, for our June recital, one of my ballet classes did a part of Swan Lake, and we had really pretty tutus...and it was so fun!!! I can't wait to see the full thing now!!! Also, I saw the Black Swan Pas de Deux at a performance that incorporated other bits of ballets, and it was so dramatic and pretty!!! And to top it off, we got to see it backstage, which was AMAZING!!!!!

Also, The Hunger Games movie is coming out soon! I can't wait! I really loved the first book, but as I continued to read the rest, I didn't quite enjoy them as much (SSSHHHHH, don't tell!).
I also found this website online that got a little thing written by Suzanne Collins who said she was pleased with the movie, which is a good sign. It also mentions that it is a bit different from the book, showing different points of view (or something like that), but I'm staying positive, and thinking that the new aspects will contribute very well to the film.

Here is the link:

Ok, I have to get dressed for school now!
I shall try to blog more :-) Bye!

Hi Again!

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't been posting in a while! I don't have ton to post on...so are there any posts you want to see? Like topics? Please comment :-)

I would now like to talk about Ellen Degeneres. She is very funny, and so incredibly kind. There are other reasons that she is an amazing person, but I don't want a ton of hate or anything like that...anyway, her show has a YouTube channel, and I love watching it and have subscribed to that through my e-mail account. Because of ballet I miss it when it is on, so the clips are really fun to watch. I shall link the channel right here:

Oh, one more thing: I am a teenager! Finally! Okay...bye!!!

Ballet Audition Follow Up

Hi guys...if anyone was curious, I didn't get into the ballet intensive. But whatever...I'm already doing Godspell so it's okay.
Plus, the auditions were international, so people literally travel from different places just to audition.

Okay...that's about it...bye!
