If Minerva Pays

A painting that I am working on

Would it be helpful if I stated that abnormal is actually normal? Yesterday was the most eventful day of the entire week (but is that not normal?)!

Modern began with a quick warm-up. Afterwards, Miss Sara let Allison lead the class through plies and Valerie through tendus. Great combinations, girls! After a really nice stretch, it was onto the recital dance! We cleaned up Moriah’s lift, April’s assisted-front-walkover and the human ramp. We ran the entire piece a few times, and then Ms. Tina brought her little girls in to watch (again). And guess what else?– I didn’t fall off of the ramp!

In ballet (I took a second extra class), we talked about picture week (next week) and our performance (today). We then moved on to center barre and stretching. Afterwards, we worked on grand battements and our cute, little “Village Girl moment” (which we learned on Tuesday). Fun! We ran through Breathe (the dance that we will be performing today) a few times as well.

As my sisters and I found the color/picture/stage/costume/emotion to get us into the “Breathe Zone” (so that my teacher’s “good friend,” Minerva, will pay to see the show and let us keep our “jobs”), a black figure shot across the room and locked the restroom door. About five minutes later, out came Abby! Her face was red and smiling as she told us that her face paint was supposed to be washable; she is playing a demon in her little sister’s dance– wow!

Moriah will be arriving at my house later on so that we can carpool over to the local school; the performance starts at 2:10 P.M.. Details coming [very] soon!

Lolq….ya. Ok. And ummm…..ya April's walkover….haha! Still working on it. You did great on the ramp! I want to learn the Village Girl Moment! Ah….if only the minutes would pass!!!! Luv ya!

  2. Can't wait for you to get here! We will need to take some pictures. 🙂 And BY THE WAY, your lift looks MUCH better (now that I'm not strangling you)! Haha, I'm just glad that I didn't fall off of the ramp… that's all I ask, lolq! I will teach you the Village Girl Moment when you get here. 🙂 Love ya too!
