| Summer. <3 |
Yesterday concluded my 2012-2013 year at dance. Part of me is ecstatic about summer, but the majority of my heart is a little skeptical; what am I going to do with the next few weeks…? Right off the bat, I want to thank Miss Tina, for running the world’s best dance studio; Miss Sara, for being such an amazing teacher; Bethany, for being a wonderful instructor and friend; my family, for supporting me. I love you guys!
I spent the last week of classes working on quite a few different things, most of which were quite spontaneous, indeed! On Tuesday, Kristen and I had a semi-private class, so the two of us were able to work a bit on Paquita and The Canary Fairy (on and off pointe)! With our last ten minutes of class, we watched dance videos on Miss Sara’s iPad— so fun!
On Wednesday, I was informed that I have been given the Dance Me a Story mini camp! I cannot wait to assist with this incredible summer camp!
On Thursday, as Emma is still on vacation, I subbed for her kindergarten, ballet class. The girls were adorable and so polite! As for modern, things were pretty interesting…! Miss Sara gave us several difficult combinations and re-taught the class how to perform a forward roll [correctly].
Yesterday was the craziest day of all! Bethany’s class was quite empty, so we were able to spend the first half-hour of class discussing recital and next year (Classes to be revealed soon!). After that time, my teacher looked up and said, “Oh, you decided to show up.”
Upon turning around, Elizabeth, Stephanie, April, Angela and I looked upon Bethany’s “surprise of the day.” She decided to bring in her friend, Matt, so that we could do some partnering! In terms of choreography and style, this partnering work was significantly different than what I experienced with Miss Sara and Mr. Keith last summer, but I still had a blast! Of course, being me, I was still penalized for my grouchy facial expressions… humph…. In pointe, we practiced Canary Fairy again, which looked quite nice– yay!
