Wow! Has the first section of Rehearsal 3 come and gone… already?
My mom and I arrived at our destination twenty minutes early. This “destination” of ours is one of the local high schools. Being the studio’s first year at the facility, we still have a bit of exploring to do, but overall, the building is such a huge blessing! We have been given a massive stage, two large dressing rooms and a black-box for the younger girls. Superb!
To start the evening off right, I checked in with Emma’s mom, my stage-mom. Already dressed, I slipped on my pointe shoes and prepared to rehearse.
We ran the pointe dance twice, a) for practice and b) to make the proper lighting arrangements, both of which were fairly good performances. My shoes were off in a flash (or a blur), and I was back on the stage for ballet. It also went well.
The last dance to be rehearsed was modern. Backstage, I was having a bad case of the butterflies! Allison, Moriah and I watched the third dance together, a ballet piece performed to a song titled, “All this Time” by Britt Nicole. Some of the lyrics from this beautiful song are: “You’ve been walking with me all this time.”
Allison, to whom I mentioned my nerves about the human ramp (Miss Sara aspires to have the end of the dance be silhouette; therefore, how was I to see the ramp in order to climb up?), calmed me by saying, “He’s walking with you up the human ramp– remember that.” I have the best sisters. <3
All in all, the modern dance was great! Miss Sara had hardly anything to correct– wow! The human ramp went perfectly, as it was still bright enough to see (thanks to our shiny costumes).
Told you u had nothing to worry about!!!!! You did great! Loved the video!
Thanks, Hun! You were awesome!
