Vacation

“Into the Sunset”

“Mossy Rock Attitude”

“While at the Lake”

“Machine Gun Dancer”

Hello from my far-off vacationing spot! Life here has been hectic; visiting relatives, cooking and cleaning, hunting, shooting and trapping, knitting and just relaxing in the woods. So fun! Despite all of this, I have found time in my days to practice Cecchetti and to dance everywhere possible! Picture one (far left) was taken by one of my brothers just before this beautiful place was covered in a blanket of darkness. Picture two (near left) was taken in the middle of the woods by my mother. Picture three (far right) was taken by my dad after a family walk to the lake. Lastly, picture four (near right) was taken at the shooting range this afternoon by, once again, my dad. Thank you all! (P.S. Even dancers like machine guns…!)

I have missed Nutcracker rehearsal and two ballet classes on my trip so far. At the moment, I am missing the cherubs. Thankfully, Emma is covering for me.

In my division, I have to make up for any ballet classes that I miss. I took care of my making-up before I left home by attending the Thursday ballet class before modern. I took two classes– this makes up for everything. I will be back for classes on Friday. While I can take extra classes at my home studio, that is impossible with The Nutcracker. However, I was able to read Emma’s blog to find out what we learned and how everything played out! If you would like a peek into Emma’s dance life, visit her blog! You can find the address by clicking “View my complete profile” (under “DANCING ME” on the right-hand side of your computer screen or the bottom of your mobile device) and looking under “Links.” Click “Emma’s Blog.” Don’t forget to check out my other favorite websites!
