We’ll call it “Recital”

This is such a crazy time of year— for everyone. I still can’t believe how many of my fellow dancers will be graduating and moving on after this year. I’m so proud of them. This year has felt a little unreal, I guess. 2014-2015 is disappearing… but it only just started.

The littles had dress rehearsal yesterday, which is always a fun adventure. Running back and forth between studios in the rain is especially fun. Hey, it was like 72 degrees in the Training Center anyway.

Recital Week itself doesn’t start until Sunday, but it’s coming in with a bang. On Monday, we’ve scheduled an extra in-studio rehearsal to polish Arise, and then we’ll be heading over to the high school for the full-on dress rehearsal. Following rehearsals will be one awesome weekend of performances. This has got to be my favorite week of the entire year.

Ballet progress reports were handed out yesterday, and the stakes have certainly been raised; I really need to work on my flexibility over the summer. I’m excited to have so many Training 2s entering and bridging into Training 3!– just so proud of everyone.

In other news, The Order of the Phoenix is really long. And it’s raining again. If it would ever stop, my mom and I could continue with our “progressive photo shoot,” which will be up ASAP.

Just as soon as it stops raining.
